\nThe attorney for Brooks Houck is appealing a judge\u2019s decision to keep his bond at $10 million.<\/p>\n
The appeal was filed Tuesday morning by Brian Butler.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Judge Charles Simms denied a motion by Butler to lower Houck\u2019s bond from $10 million to $500,000 with home incarceration if posted.<\/p>\n
During that ruling, Simms said the bond was reasonable and pointed to Houck\u2019s many properties and wealth. He also pointed to potential misconduct within the Houck family and the weight of the charges involved.<\/p>\n
Butler maintains that a $10 million bond is not only unreasonable but unconstitutional. Houck\u2019s attorney is looking to the Kentucky Court of Appeals to overrule the Simms\u2019 decision and get the bond lowered.
