   JCT: So Luc presented his short-notice motion to Superior   
   Court this morning. Justice Catherine Mandeville.   
      
   The judge pointed out he'd signed the original conditions. Why   
   should they be changed.   
      
   Luc explained that he'd raised the money to get out of jail,   
   even if it put him deeper into debt.   
      
   Luc's Affidavit explains how he earns $3,900 a month and had   
   fixed expenses of $3,000 a month leaving $900 for gas, food   
   and family.   
      
   He explained that if he could get his bail changed to bond, he   
   could pay off his credit card and save $200 a month in   
   interest to spend on the family.   
      
   Judge Mandeville decided that since he'd signed the   
   Recognizance, he had to stand by it and dismissed his motion   
   to vary change bail to bond but did extend his curfew to start   
   at midnight rather than 10pm so he could pick up his kids.   
      
   I am truly stunned. He came up with the money so he'll have to   
   live without it.   
      
   No judge playing Santa this year.
