Bradley is accused of this offense, not convicted. Bond was set at Superior Court only under O.C.G.A. 17-6-1, meaning a magistrate court judge could not set bond — only a Superior Court judge has that authority in this case.9/25/26NO BOND SET — SUPERIOR COURT JURISDICTION ONLYWhat this means:Also on September 25, 2026, the court formally recorded that Kingston Lammar Bradley would be held without bond.
