Overview
- Manley surrendered to Broward County authorities on Thursday and was booked on two counts of making written threats to kill or cause bodily injury.
- The charges stem from Facebook comments made after an August primary loss that prosecutors say included violent language targeting people who did not back the party nominee.
- Court records show bond was set at $40,000 and local reports indicate Manley posted bond and was released from Broward County Jail.
- Investigators used copies of the posts preserved by complainants and sought account information from Meta, which told authorities the content did not meet its removal standards.
- The Broward State Attorney’s Office asked that the case be reassigned because the alleged victims previously took part in charitable drives that benefited the office, a move that could affect who prosecutes the matter.
