SAN JOSE -- Two of the three Santa Clara County correctional officers charged with beating a mentally ill inmate to death have posted $1.5 million bail and been released from jail.
Jereh Lubrin, 28, and Rafael Rodriguez, 27, had been held in Alameda County jail since their arrest Sept. 3 on charges they killed inmate Michael Tyree and assaulted another prisoner. Rodriguez was released late Sept. 22 or 23, his lawyer said, while Lubrin posted bail Sept. 18.
The third guard, Matthew Farris, is still in custody pending a bail hearing set for Tuesday.
Farris' family intends to put up property in lieu of bail, an arrangement that must be approved by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Allison M. Danner.
