Gavin Perkins allegedly shot and killed his mother, Ruth Perkins, in 2018 but was repeatedly ruled not competent to stand trial and was feared to be released soon.
For now, Gavin Perkins will remain in Metro Corrections on a $500,000 cash bond, a Louisville judge ordered Monday.
After being re-indicted for the five-year-old murder in June, Gavin Perkins’ request Monday to lower his bond from $500,000 to $5,000 cash and home incarceration was rejected by Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Patricia Morris.
