Critics Question Why Suspected Cop-Killer Was Free On Bond

Deon Ledet had seven prior felony convictions. Last November, he was charged for possessing and delivering drugs. Despite the DA's office asking he be held in custody, Ledet was freed on a minimal bond by 208th District judge Greg Glass.

Deon Ledet, 31, was accused of skipping out on that bond, and there's every indication from neighbors in the Northeast Harris County apartment complex where he was found, that he knew the police would come looking for him and he had no intention of going quietly.

After a Houston police officer was killed, and another shot and injured, as they tried to serve an arrest warrant, attention has turned to the Harris County judge who set the suspected fugitive free on a low bond.

Houston Police Officers' Union executive director Ray Hunt is among the critics who say Ledet should never have been free. 

"I put all of this, and all the blood from our officers, on Judge Greg Glass," says a livid Hunt.

Hunt argues that the death of senior officer Bill Jeffrey, the wounding of Sergeant Michael Vance, even the need of assisting officers to shoot and kill Ledet, was completely avoidable.
