A judge has set a $10 million bail for Franklin Peña, one of two men accused of murdering 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston. Peña, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant, was considered an 'astronomical' flight risk, leading to the high bail amount, which is $5 million more than what prosecutors requested. Harris County District Attorney's Office has not ruled out the death penalty for Peña. Harris County District Court Judge Josh Hill ordered the bail. The second suspect's hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
