Murder Defense in PhoenixShayna Hubers, the 21-year-old woman accused of shooting her boyfriend to death, has been denied another bond decrease.

According to police, Hubers fired fatal shots at her boyfriend Ryan Poston, 29. Police received a phone call from Hubers 15 minutes after the shots were fired at Poston’s apartment, telling authorities that Poston had stopped breathing. Hubers told police that she killed Poston in self defense, and that she first shot him in his face and then again to put him out of his misery.

Hubers was originally sent to jail with a $2 million bond. Hubers’ attorney Wil Zeverly later asked the visiting judge, Judge David Hayse, to reduce her bond to $100,000 because she is considered low-risk and carries no criminal record. Judge Hayse denied the request, but did reduce the bond to $1 million. However, early Wednesday morning the bond reset once again, this time to $5 million by the choice of Judge Karen Thomas.

Zeverly states that “The only thing Shayna is guilty of is bad taste in men.” Poston’s family responded to Zeverly’s statement, saying “Please keep in mind that the real victim in this tragedy is Ryan Poston, not the woman who shot him multiple times. Anyone who ever knew Ryan knows her claims of self-defense are absurd. We look forward to the day when the truth comes out in a court of law, not from the mouth of a criminal defense lawyer trying his case in the media.” If you attempt to murder a person, fail and are caught, then you are going to need aggressive and skilled criminal defense counsel from criminal defense attorney, Howard A. Snader. Mr. Snader has created compelling arguments in defense of his clients by questioning the handling of evidence, interviewing witnesses and launching private investigations.
