Judge Becky Dugan reduces bail for Mike Rios from the original bail which was set at $500,000.00 to $250,000.00. Riverside County’s District Attorney’s Office had sought a bail increase of ten times the original bail amount of fifty-five thousand.
As with Mike Rios’ other pending charges related to the attempted murder charge, the D.A.’s office will seek a 1257.1 hearing regarding the legal source of any monies used to secure bail in this case, however here they have also chosen to challenge Mr. Rios’ source of collateral as well.
In the Riverside Case No. RIF1201429 for two counts of attempted murder, as well as witness intimidation and several criminal enhancements Rios’ bail was reduced by Judge Becky Dugan from the set uniform bail schedule of one million dollars down to a mere $250,000.00, where she cited Rios’ benefit to the community (by benefit I think she meant he was an elected official).
In order to obtain bail on that case, Rios allegedly used a credit card for the required 10% or $25,000.00 and his present home on Palm Shadows Dr. as the needed $250,000.00 collateral. With a new bail amount of equal to his last, it would seem almost impossible for Rios to obtain bail as his only true source of securing the needed collateral was his home, and that is already being used for the prior bail amount.
Mvgordie.com will be looking into the issue of the use of his residence to secure the prior bail, as years ago in his attempt to circumvent the payment of child support Mr. Rios quick claim deeded that residence in its entirety to his alleged wife Dora Landaverde-Torres. If the home hasn’t been deeded back to Mike, or she took other actions which would allow it to be used on his behalf the bondsman is holding a trust deed on a home which Mike would have had no legal right to use for such financial purposes.
If the latter is true, the bail bondsman can revoke bail on Mike Rios and place him back into the custody of the Riverside Sheriff’s office until he makes bail on that prior amount.

The prospects for healthcare reform may be chillier than DC weather, but Democrats in the House and Senate are turning their attention to another warmer but still significant national issue: the increasing number of runaway and throwaway youth who are being forced into prostitution. In response to the growing concerns that desperate, runaway teens will be forced into prostitution in a sluggish economy, Congress is pushing several bills to improve how runaway kids are tracked by the police, fund crucial social services, and prevent teens from being caught in sex trafficking. Here's the gist of what the new legislation is trying to accomplish:
