UPDATE: Cameron Brown-Rancho Palos Verdes cliff death case
An appellate court has declined to review post-trial rulings in Cameron Brown's murder case in which a judge refused to dismiss or decrease the charges or set bail.
Brown appealed to the 2nd District Court of Appeal on March 30, and it denied his petition on April 8.
Brown, 48, can still take the case to the state Supreme Court.
Brown appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday for a pretrial hearing, but it was postponed until June 2, according to Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum.
Two juries have deadlocked on charges against Brown, who is accused of killing his Lauren Sarene-Key, his 4-year-old daughter, by throwing her off a Rancho Palos Verdes cliff on Nov. 8, 2000. He claims the 4-year-old slipped.
He has remained jailed without bail since his arrest in 2001 after a grand jury indicted him for murder with the special circumstances allegation of killing for financial gain and lying in wait.
He faces the possibility of life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.

I guess if you are not a celiberty or not wealty you can get a, get out of jail card. I see it doesn't work the same way for a working man. I know most of you are saying but he probalby did it well you didn't prove it, so let him go or give the guy bail, or put him on home arrest.
