Pfiel Bond Fight Centers on Full Forfeiture Demand
Pfiel’s parents posted $100,000 toward a $1 million bond for his release from jail. Court records show prosecutors seek full forfeiture, with a judgment for the entire $1 million, while Pfiel remains held in Will County Jail on Crete Township charges. A Bridgeview court hearing set for April 25 will address DNA motion issues in the Nor skog case and Pfiel’s next court appearance was ordered for Tuesday. Prosecutors argue state law allows full forfeiture for defendants who fail to appear or commit new crimes on bond.
