Foster stated in her order that the court finds that the original bond was “unreasonably excessive” thus denying the defendant for a right to post bail.
Moded has been unable to post bond and has remained in jail for almost two weeks since his arrest for beating up a woman.
“Bail may not be unreasonably excessive nor denied those accused and detained before trial,” the court’s order stated.
Foster’s revised order stated that the reduced bond, the $500 surety and $250 cash will be posted for both Moded’s Criminal Action 09-187 and 09-188.
The court originally imposed $1,000 surety bond and $500 cash based on the gravity of the offense and the defendant’s criminal history.
Moded was charged with assault and battery, assault, disturbing the peace and trespassing in CR 09-187 for beating up a woman on September 21.
The defendant threw the victim on the ground and threatened to kill her on September 17. When the defendant assaulted her again on September 21, the victim had run to another person’s house for help but the defendant pushed the owner to the side and entered her house even if he was told not to enter the premises.
The victim resisted while she was being taken away by the defendant from the residence.
Moded was on probation for a suspended sentence for CR 06-113.
In CR 09-188, he was charged with malicious mischief, burglary and grand larceny for entering the Palau Community College Building and stole a woman’s cell phone.
The police affidavit stated that Moded cut the window screen and broke the window louvers of the victim’s apartment and entered the room and stole cell phone and $40.
