Rule #15 Don't Pimp To Make Bail from Jail

From the Santa Cruz Sentinel's Cops and Courts - - - January 11, 2007

Andre William Furtado, a 19-year-old Watsonville man accused of pimping out young women and, more recently, urging one teen to prostitute herself to raise his bail money, will be back in court next week after a Santa Cruz Count Superior Court judge ruled there was enough evidence for a trial, prosecutor Ross Taylor said.

That's right, he wanted one of his girls to work the street to get his bail money together. Funny how the judge found enough evidence to go to trial.

The guy doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the bunch though since he wrote letters instructing the woman to go out and hook for his bail money. Nothing like a paper trail from a prison to make it easy on the cops.

Rule #15 is Don't Send Letters Urging Someone to Hook for Your Bail, Especially If You Know Your Letters are Being Read by the Authorities. Duh!
