Also, at the 15-minute hearing, they asked Wallace to double Bowman's unconditional bail from $5 million to $10 million and his conditional bail amount to be set at $5 million rather than $2 million, considering the high stakes of his potential life sentence. Wallace declined to do so, instead telling a handcuffed and shackled Bowman that he would need to establish residency in Minnesota and wear a GPS monitor if he posts bail. The 30-year-old has been behind bars at Olmsted County Jail since his October arrest, according to online records.
His next court date has yet to be scheduled. Michael Schatz, Bowman's attorney, did not respond to emails for comment on the case.
