Couple accused of hiding body of slain San Antonio teen Savanah Soto want bail lowered

The San Antonio couple accused of helping their son hide the dead bodies of pregnant teen Savanah Soto and her boyfriend are asking for their bonds — which total a combined $1.7 million — to be lowered. In late January, court-appointed attorneys representing Ramon Preciado, 52, and Myrta Romanos, 47, filed motions asking for their bonds to be reduced, according to court summaries from the Bexar County Court Clerk’s office. In the filings, the attorneys argue that the bond amounts are “oppressive” and violate the Eighth Amendment, which protects against against “excessive bail” and “cruel and unusual punishment,” the Express-News reports.
