ry, one that has not been told. It will be told in the courtroom, not outside, and not in the media,  Rockind said.

During the arraignment, Rockind urged the court to issue a personal bond citing similar cases. He said that some courts use a  big stick  when it comes to determining bonds to demonstrate their authority. Magistrate Andra Richardson pushed back.

 I'm not that person. But I do take cases where somebody died very very serious. That's not a big stick,  Richardson said.

Magistrate Andra Richardson issued a $25,000 10-percent bond, which Isho posted. One condition of the bond prohibits Isho from getting behind the wheel.

Nelson's family told me they had a brief exchange with Isho's mother outside the courtroom.

 What she said, she is really broken about what her son did. She admitted that to me personally,  Bryan Nelson said.

Isho's mother's acknowledgment offered little comfort to Nelson's stepmother.

 I just think it was just too late for them to say something, you know? Mother to mother, brother to brother, family to family,  Andrea Nelson said.

Despite the pain, the family said they are relieved the legal process is moving forward.

 It's just wanting, coming closer to justice, you know, and that's what we've been stressing on a long time now. Justice, and we'll forever be advocating for that,  Bryan Nelson said.

 We are here, we're trembling, we're just trying to keep it together. It's just a hard pill to swallow,  Bryan Nelson said.

Nelson's family has already filed a civil lawsuit against Isho.
