To applause in the courtroom, an Arapahoe County judge set a $100 million cash-only bond for a man charged with shooting and killing a mother outside a home in March.
David Samuel Lechner was taken into custody on March 30 in Arapahoe County after he allegedly shot and killed his soon-to-be ex-wife outside a home along the 5200 block of S. Geneva Way — southwest of Cherry Creek Reservoir in the Hills West at Cherry Creek neighborhood — and then tried to flee from the scene in a car. A witness purposefully crashed into the suspect's vehicle to keep him at the scene, according to an arrest affidavit.
However, before they were allowed to speak, the defense attorney for Lechner argued against a high bond, saying $100 million was"basically unattainable" and unconstitutional. They cited a recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling in State vs. Smith, which states that the denial of bail for capital offenses is no longer allowed. The defense requested a $100,000 cash surety bond.
Bloch explained he was worried about the safety of his parents and other family members who spoke up after Tracy Lechner's death. He asked for bond to be set at $10 billion.
