No arguments were heard for or against bond – that will be left to an as-yet-unscheduled full hearing before Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the RICO case involving Floyd, Donald Trump and 17 other co-defendants.
But Judge Emily Richardson, in making an initial bond determination, determined Floyd would be a flight risk and a risk to commit additional felonies if out on bail.
Speaking to the judge without representation – unusual in a first appearance proceeding – Floyd disagreed he was a flight risk.
