How is bond different for the same crime?

[here ya go]

I would say the hickmans were involved with meth.Pot isn't the killer these days it's meth.

This is the second time they would have been busted for meth, if that's the case.

[booo]

It isn't the same crimes. One has felony charges the other one has misdemeanor charges. And the one with felony charges has two charges, not just one. That is why the bond is different.
