Another bizarre twist in the murder case of John Ludwig occurred Tuesday afternoon in a Greenville County courtroom. Ludwig and his attorneys were ordered back to court after Judge Eugene Griffith discovered someone had altered the bond order issued by the him the day before. Ludwig had been released from jail about 5 hours earlier.
Ludwig had "questions" about the order. Ludwig allegedly wrote on the order "no electronic monitoring" and "no porch arrest" because he claimed people called the last time he was monitored claiming he was violating his bond by being on his porch. The judge called the unauthorized change in his order, "a thumb in his eye". He expressed his concern that Ludwig "doesn't respect authority" and sent him back to jail, charging Ludwig with contempt.
Bob Ariail said his office had never seen something like this before, and that his office was, "tired of this case and the problems its creating." He said Ludwig has not gotten the message, and wanted "the last word."
