Justin Foster Just Got $1 Million Bail After Cutting A Man's Junk Off
Looks like poor Justin Foster will never see the outside of a jail cell again. But hey, at least he still has his penis.
In Des Plaines, Illinois, 28-year-old Justin Foster is facing an attempted murder charge, according to the Chicago Tribune.
What happened was, Florida man Foster flew from Atlanta to Chicago back in August. He then rented a car from the O’Hare International Airport and drove to Des Plaines.
All of this was so Foster could confront that man who his partner cheated on him with. Foster eventually confronted the man in the middle of the street, hit him in the head with a tire iron, carved initials into the man’s leg, and then cut off the man’s penis. Afterwards, Foster allegedly threw the penis over a fence, dragged the man’s body behind a parked car to hide it, drove away, and took the next plane out to Atlanta.
Of course, Foster didn’t get far as he was arrested in Tallahassee on August 27 and then transferred to Cook County, Illinois in September to start his trial.

At Stokie court this past Thursday, Foster’s defense attorney, Jack Friedlander, asked for Foster to get a monetary bond of $250,00, but the Judge decided not to go with that. Because Justin Foster seemed like a flight risk (after literally taking a flight away from the crime scene), the judge decided to post his bail at $1 Million dollars. So, according to the Miami Herald, Justin Foster is going nowhere.
“We’re talking about a very heinous crime here,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Luis Muniz. “A monetary bond is not appropriate.”
That said, the court case isn’t a done deal. According to Friedlander, Foster’s case is entirely circumstantial as there’s no physical evidence that he was the perpetrator beyond the police’s word and accusations.
Foster is then, “entitled to the benefit of the doubt,” according to Friedlander. We’ll see if that’s true by the end of the court case.
