An Atlanta judge set a steep $500,000 (Dh1.84 billion) bail Tuesday for a police officer accused of murder after shooting dead a fleeing black man in the back.
In a bond hearing full of emotion after the appearance of Rayshard Brook's widow, lawyers for Garrett Rolfe argued that he was within his rights to shoot the 27-year-old on June 12 outside a fast-food restaurant.
Judge Jane Barwick said the bail was not too high for the politically charged case, which added fuel to nationwide protests over police abuse and racism sparked by the May 25 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
"This court does not feel this amount is excessive," Barwick said.
She also ordered Rolfe to give up all firearms and wear an ankle monitor while awaiting trial or murder charges.
Before the judge set bail, Brooks' wife Tomika Miller pleaded tearfully for the court to keep Rolfe locked up.
"The defendant has already shown he is a danger to the community," she said.
Her husband "was not perfect, but he didn't deserve to die," she said.
