Daughter of Murder Victim Speaks Out
Speaking for the first time since the suspect in her fathers murder was granted bail, Mrs. Shuli Labkowski reinforced her belief in G-d and feels that her father, Reb Yosef Raksin HYD would not be happy.
Speaking to Florida’s WSVN first the first time since Deandre Charles, the suspect charged with the murder of her father, was granted the option to post $300,000 bail – of which he only needs to post %10 or $30,000 – she said “He would be upset. He wouldn’t like it.”
Charles, then 15-years-old, is accused of gunning down Raksin in failed robbery attempt while walking to Shul in North Miami Beach on Shabbos Morning in August of 2014.

As a former florida police officer thgis bail option is very much the norm in s. Florida
If the suspect had more wealth the bail may have been set higher.
The problem here is the suspect is a “flight risk” regardless of his financial staus…therefore the judge would be well within the judicial guidlines to deny bail alltoghether.
The justice system in america is very broken.
This animal when sentanced will serve a fraction of the sentance then be released back into society.
We should keep in mind and continue to be outraged with our judicial system a sytem which holds a virtual life sentance for shalom m rubaskin a man who never hurt anyone.
What a hypocrisy and again a double standard for our judicial sytem.

Bail is a right. And where are they going to get $30K from? They don’t get that back, you know. If they want their money back they have to come up with the whole $300K. So it may be a while before he gets out. As for him being a flight risk, if he skips on the $30K bond the bondsman will go after him, and they can find people better than the police can. If his family puts up $300K then they will make sure he sticks around so they can get their money back.
I don’t know why what his alleged victim’s would have liked should have anything to do with it. It has not been established that he did anything to him. That’s what the trial is for. Until then the law must presume him innocent and may not do anything to punish him. Its only interest is to make sure he appears for his trial.

You are correct bail is a right, however if you want get into judicial technicalities, Florida law clearly states that if the subject is a “flight risk OR danger to the community” bail is set (if at all) by the discretion of the court. Homicide while engaged in certain felonies is capital offense in the state of Florida and such could constitute denial of bond. Court districts vary on stringency and liberality throughout the state.
AS far as nothing has been proven yet as to his guilt. Again you are absolutely correct, however if probable cause exists for the issuance of an arrest warrant especially regarding a crime of this magnitude the suspect is certainly considered a threat to society.
As far as where his family would get 30K. Most any bond corporation will take COLLATERAL IE a note, a lien, or physical property ( it is a business and yes they are there to make money not give tzedaka.
Bondsmen usually do not go after an absconded subject unless there is a minimal risk and there is an ease of access to apprehend them. All that stuff you saw on TV is scripted. If he absconded it falls into the hands of the Miami – Dade fugitive task force and or the US Marshalls.
This suspect was arrested on an Judicially issued warrant after careful executive scrutiny (yes Judges are still accountable) most likely following a VERY long and arduous investigation process and many hours of taped sworn interviews and physical evidence.
Contrary to some peoples belief the police do not often arrest some random citizen (especially a juvenile) for crimes of this magnitude after such extensive investigation and research.
Now lets take a step back …. Mamesh Hashem is in charge and justice will be served in his way.
