Judge Aaron Palmer ordered bail for France Carter, 20, secretary to the Panther Party in Connecticut, amid a historic six page ruling. Carter and four other Panthers face capital charges tied to the torture and execution of Mayor Alex Kackle, with hearings marking the first bail review in such a capital case in the state. The ruling signals a likely appeal and notes Carter did not attend the bail hearing and had given birth to a boy during the proceedings. A separate hearing will set Carter’s bail amount.
