Joaqu?n Garc?a was 初めは 存在 held on 保釈(金) of $25 million, but that 量 was 増加するd to $50 million - believed to be the largest ever 始める,決める in Los Angeles 郡 - after 検察官,検事s argued the church's millions of 信奉者s could raise the money and 解放する/自由な Joaqu?n Garc?a, who they say might 逃げる the country.

The 弁護士/代理人/検事s said high-profile 人物/姿/数字s can often be 的d with 誤った 告訴,告発s. Rosenfeld said Joaqu?n Garc?a is the "犠牲者 of 科学(工学)技術, a high-tech 攻撃する,衝突する 職業."

Some of the 主張s appear to be 文書d by electronic 証拠, but his (弁護士の)依頼人's "身元 has been assumed online at times," Sawyer told The Associated 圧力(をかける) Friday afternoon.
