    Plaintiff,

    MOTION FOR BONDv. REDUCTION

    VALERIE LOUISE KUHLERS,

    Defendant.

    COMES NOW the defendant and for her Motion states to the Court as follows:

    1. The defendant is currently incarcerated on a bond totalling $105,000.

    2. The defendant is a 56 year old lady with no significant criminal history. She has ties

    to the community including a spouse, children and grandchildren, such that she is not a

    flight risk.

    3. The defendant has no resources to post bond. She is unemployed and has some

    medical problems that is currently preventing her from working other than occasional

    babysitting.

    4. The defendant was arraigned in case number FECR012390 on August 27, 2013.

    This case is somewhat related to the case at bar. The defendant has been released on

    her own recognizance since that time.

    5. Additionally the defendant was charged with theft in the first degree in the case at

    bar and on or about December 18, 2013 appeared on that charge and again was

    released on her own recognizance. Nothing has changed in the meantime to warrant

    the substantial increase in bond as ordered by the Court. With her life long ties to the

    community and her prior record, the defendant is not a flight risk or at risk to be a repeat

    offender. There is no risk to the community.

    6. Since August of 2013, the defendant has voluntarily been attending substance abuse

    counseling and these records can be provided to the Court at any hearing. The

    Defendant's participation has been "excellent" and her insight has been "excellent".

    7. For the above reasons it is appropriate that the defendant be released on her own

    recognizance. Defendant requests that the Court enter the proposed Order immediately

    or in the alternative this matter be set and heard on the next available court date.

    8. The undersigned has consulted with the Sac County attorney, Ben Smith and he

    agrees to the above request and to an Order being entered to release defendant

    immediately on her own recognizance.

    WHEREFORE defendant prays as set forth above.

    VALERIE LOUISE KUHLERS, *Defendant. *

    COMES NOW the Defendant, Valerie Kuhlers, and for her Motion states to the

    Court as follows:

    1. This matter is currently set for August 25, 2014.2. As part of the plea agreement entered, this defendant and a co-defendant were to

    serve 90 days in the county jail. They are serving these terms consecutively so each

    can financially support the other. It was contemplated that the sentencing would not be

    until after these two terms were complete as co-defendant Ron Kuhlers has

    employment which requires a CDL, which he will lose following sentencing.

    3. The undersigned has consulted with the Sac County Attorney who has no objection

    to a continuance of the sentencing in this matter to late October 2014.

    WHEREFORE, the defendant prays as set forth above.
