So I finally got sick of waiting and remembered that there's one last source I haven't checked. So I went there. And guess what I've got?!
UPDATE ON KEUM H. LEE CASE!
On September 16th, Lee appeared in court. She has been released on recognizance and will return to court on October 26th.
If you, like me, have no idea what 'released on recognizance' means here are a couple definitions:
Method by which an individual is released in lieu of providing bail, upon his promise to appear and answer a criminal charge. The R.O.R. Procedure permits release on nonmonetary conditions, generally involving only the promise to appear, but sometimes involving special conditions (e.g., remaining in the custody of another, abiding by travel restrictions).http://www.answers.com/topic/release-on-recognizance-r-o-r
It means that you are being released on your word that you will show up at court at the appointed times. It is used when there is little flight risk and the court system trust you will do the right thing. There is usually a bond that is being withheld and if you violate your release terms they can charge you.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_release_on_recognizance_mean_in_criminal_law
I'll keep watch and be back searching for updates on the 26th!
