Gerardo Ortiz leaves jail in Jalisco

Banda singer Gerardo Ortiz left the state jail of Puente Grande after he paid a US$2,696 bail. He was arrested for a presumed apology of crime in a video, where a man kills a woman and then burns the body.

A custodian confirmed that he had left at 5:00 p.m. in a vehicle property of the office of the state Attorney General, trying to keep a low profile from media.

The lawyer of the Mexican-American singer had initially promised a press conference as soon as he was able to leave the jail, but that did not happen.
