Social-media posts circulated late Thursday allege that a man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a St. Louis police officer has been released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond. The suspect is identified in different posts as either Brandon Levy or Demond Taylor. The purported bond amount, unusually low for a capital case, triggered widespread criticism online of the criminal-justice system in St. Louis and calls for stricter oversight of pre-trial release policies in major U.S. cities.
