The judge has agreed to leave Emmett Cressell, Junior, out on bond.
At the same time, though, Judge Colin Campbell urged the defendant's own father to turn in his son if he felt "Junior" was about to violate the terms of his bond.

Cressell was released Friday after agreeing to testify against co-defendant, Louis Ceparano.
The two are accused of burning and beheading Garnett "G-P" Johnson.
Cressell apparently violated the conditions of his bond by talking with Christy Harden-- who's been subpoenaed by both the prosecution and the defense.
This morning, the judge lectured Cressell about risking his parent's property. His folks posted the family farm as bond.
The judge also talked of his concern for Cressell's safety.

A Corrections spokesman says "any attorney who is worth his salt would have been quite aware of the visiting procedure."
Geimer told reporters he doesn't blame the Governor for declining to intervene in the execution, but he thinks the Department of Corrections was "senselessly cruel" on a number of isssues -- including banning national and local TV cameras from interviews with Watkins.
