A Texas man accused of murdering a police officer in July 2024 is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for the first time since being released on a $1 million bond last week.
Judge Hilary Unger of the 248th District Criminal Court in Texas, a Democrat, set the bond for Dremone Francis in November 2024, contrary to prosecutors' request for a no-bond hold. Francis was able to post the bond amount and was released as of Feb. 26.
