Fox News
A father and son who both operate a farm were granted bond at a hearing while they face murder charges in the death of a neighbor who they allegedly confronted in a trespassing incident.
The last-minute bond hearing Thursday was to determine whether the farmers could bail out or would have to spend Christmas behind bars. Michael Ruiz is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to michael.ruiz@fox.com and on Twitter: @mikerreports
Court documents allege that the younger Lindler shot three to four rounds from a Glock pistol, striking Newhouse at least once in the head.
"Very happy for my clients the Lindlers. The court heard our arguments yesterday at the bond hearing and by written order granted a very reasonable and just bond with conditions regarding father and son remaining out while the murder charges are pending. Very grateful to the Court for listening to the arguments that we advanced and for all of the caring citizens, friends, and family that showed up for support for the Lindlers at Court yesterday," an attorney for the father and son wrote on X.
