HOUSTON (AP) - June 26, 2009 U.S. District Judge David Hittner granted a prosecution request
Friday to delay a magistrate's order a day earlier that granted
Stanford a $500,000 bond. Stanford is being held in the meantime.
Hittner ordered a hearing be held on Monday to listen to
arguments on whether Stanford's bond should be revoked.
Prosecutors argue Stanford, who has ties to Antigua and access
to money, is a flight risk. But his defense attorney says those
claims are exaggerated and Stanford wants to stay and clear his
name.
