The high bond ($9.16 million) set on each of the accused Good Friday shooters is no surprise to prominent Tulsa defense attorney Jack Zannerhaft.

"It's going to be an amount that's essetially equivalent to no bond," says Zannerhaft.  "Nobody in the law enforcement community has the sense that they need to be out on bond while this case is pending."

When asked "why not just give them no bond, then?" Zannerhaft says the constitution requires it.

"The constitution says every person accused of a crime has the right to a reasonable bond. If you really hold somebody without bond, it could be challenged" (and possibly overturned).

So, Zannerhaft says, prosecutors usually propose a bond that's high enough to be the "functional equivalent" of no bond. 

As for what's next for suspects Jake England and Alvin Watts, Zannerhaft says it's going to be a long process.

"It's going to be a marathon not a sprint."
