Iowa Man’s Bond Stalls Over Monitoring | Pierre News

Iowa man Zachary Berger faces vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges after a July 4 U-T-V crash, with his bond stuck at $50K cash despite lawyers pushing for a surety option. Prosecutors argue he’s a flight risk, citing texts where he allegedly vowed to leave if released. Judge Christina Klinger agreed, but the catch? Hughes County lacks electronic monitoring — a key condition for release. No trial date set yet, but both sides expect a five-day jury trial ahead. The legal battle rages on as consequences loom.
