A judge who ordered a $10 million bond against a woman accused of manslaughter is facing a formal complaint from one of the state’s best known former lawmakers.

And the judge isn’t alone.

According to police, earlier this month at this south Omaha apartment complex, 30-year-old Carlos Salguero-Canar was killed, reportedly beaten to death.

26-year-old Jessica Hernandez and 24-year-old Nadim Zarazua-Hernandez are both charged with manslaughter.

Jailed under a $200,000 bond, the man who allegedly executed the beating, posted the required 10 percent, $20,000, and is back on the street.

But additionally charged with evidence tampering the woman’s bond, set by Judge Grant Forsberg, is set at $10 million. Unable to post her required 10 percent, $1 million, she remains behind bars.

Ben Salazar: “The suffocating and you know sort of irrational high figure for someone like a single mom with ties to the community."

Long-time self-described community advocate Ben Salazar tells NCN the $10 million bond has ripped apart Jessica Hernandez’ family.

Salazar: “During her first week of incarceration the absentee father showed up demanded the children who was staying with an aunt and of course she couldn't refuse to give over the children to him he took the children out of state.”

Chambers: “Even mobsters didn’t have $10 million bonds.”

Former State Sen. Ernie Chambers, calls Judge Grant Forsberg’s bond “racist and sexist.” Chambers plans to file formal complaints against both the judge and Douglas County Attorney, Don Kleine.

Kleine tells NCN there’s no basis for a complaint against his office because, “We didn’t set the bond, the judge does.”

Judge Forsberg has not been available for comment.

The next court hearing is scheduled for later this week.
