If the bond is that high, it must be a fairly serious charge. If the family is not happy with the friend's attorney, they should hire someone else who can then file for bond reduction if the charges will allow for it. The innocence or guilt of the accused has yet to be determined by the court and your opinion will not count.

I doubt any attorney could have gotten a bond the family could afford. The charges msut be serious for 680k bond.
