A judge reduced bond for the state employee accused of stealing $11 million in tax funds with her boyfriend.

Bond had been set at $10 million for Michelle Cawthra and her married boyfriend, Hysear Randell.

Denver District Judge William Robbins reduced Cawthra's bond to $750,000, noting that $10 million bonds aren't even sent in first-degree murder cases.

Bond remains at $10 million for Randell, whose attorney did not request a reduction.

Cawthra, 30, and Randell, 40, are charged in a 97-count indictment along with Randell's wife, Trudy Randell, 37, with racketeering, theft, forgery and conspiracy.

Trudy Randell, who was arrested in Florida, did not waive her right to extradition proceedings, so the process to return her to Colorado to face the charges may take several months, said Lynn Kimbrough, spokesperson for the Denver district attorney's office.

Hysear Randell will be back in court Sept. 20.

Jason Young, Cawthra's public defender, requested that the judge review the grand jury proceedings and whether there was probable cause for her to be charged. Cawthra will be back in court Sept. 6 for that.
