The ex-South Carolina police officer accused of fatally shooting an unarmed man running away from him was denied bond on Monday, according to court documents.
Since his April indictment for the murder of Walter Scott, former North Charleston policeman Michael Slager has been held without bond. Slager sought to be released, however, saying in a court hearing earlier this month that he was "not a flight risk" and that he wanted to see his son.
"We believe he is of no risk of danger," added Slager's lawyer, Andy Savage.
But after petitioning Judge Clifton Newman, Slager was denied.
