Dr. Murray had his bail set at $75,000, which is three times greater than the bail usually set for similar crimes. He wasn't handcuffed, but taken into custody by police in order to be booked. Dr. Murray must give up his passport, which only allows him to travel within the United States. Prosecutors were seeking bail of $300,000, but the judge, Keith L. Schwartz, rejected the amount. Dr. Murray faces up to four years in jail if convicted.
