Former University of Miami football player Rashaun Jones could be released on $850,000 bond while awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge related to the 2006 death of Hurricanes teammate Bryan Pata.
ESPN's Paula Lavigne reported Florida 11th Circuit Court Judge Cristina Miranda said prosecutors presented a "viable case" against Jones, who's been held without bail since being arrested in August, but she didn't view him as a threat to flee. She also ordered him to not make contact with Pata's family or potential witnesses.
"I can't say he's not a danger to the community," Miranda said.
