ReadSecond Bond Hearing — Dec 20, 2021 (Judge Hogan)
Ryan's second bond hearing — almost a year after the first one in Tyler, Texas was denied. Judge Thomas Hogan conditioned access to this hearing on Ryan taking the COVID vaccine. Ryan went on the record stating he did not want the shot; told his attorney the same. He reluctantly took the first dose on Dec 4, 2021 to preserve access to the hearing. DC DOC then refused the required second dose until after the window expired. Bond denied at the Dec 20, 2021 hearing despite Judge Hogan's on-record admission that prolonged solitary confinement violated Ryan's due process rights. Confirmed in scans j6s14-014 (Step 4 Deputy Director Appeal, 3/18/22) and j6s18-016 (12/7/21 IGP).
