Derrick Thompson's bail set at $1M in case of deadly crash that killed 5.

TL;DR Summary
Derrick Thompson, son of former state Rep. John Thompson, appeared in court on 10 counts of criminal vehicular homicide for driving at 95 mph into a car carrying five young women in Minneapolis, killing them all. His bail was set at $1 million, but he won't be leaving jail due to holds on him for violating parole on a California conviction and by the U.S. Attorney's Office for federal drug and gun charges stemming from the crash. Thompson's case is raising concerns about a new plan passed by the Minnesota Legislature to allow many offenders to earn early release from prison.
