Bail Denied For Murder Suspect

Earlier this week, a judge rebuked a defense attorney's motion to allow bail for Sean Michael Mihajson. He and his twin sister are accused of murdering Shalonda Morris. She was allegedly attempting to buy 1 pound of pot when she was killed.

Sean Michael Mihajson's sister, Vanesa, is additionally charged in the murder. They are said to have devised and executed a plan to assinate Shalonda Morris and steal the $7,500 she intended to use to buy drugs.

Sean Mihajson has been held without bail since 2008, when he was arrested.
Although, Mihajson's lawyer asked the jusge to grant bail, but set it at $1 million since the state won't be seeking the death penalty.

Bail is typically not an option in murder cases where the death penalty is being pursued. The defense lawyer also claimed that the evidence indicating his client's guilt was very weak, thereby supporting the motion to grant bail.
