Nearly a year after the fatal shooting of a University of Kentucky student during a robbery, the three young men charged with murder in 
his death are set to ask for new bonds so they can get out of jail before trial.
 
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that attorneys for 18-year-old Roman Gonzalez, 19-year-old Justin D. Smith and 21-year-old Efrain Diaz Jr. will argue before a judge Friday for "reasonable" bonds. The three have been in jail since April and are charged in the April 17 death of 22-year-old Jonathan Kruger, who grew up in Perrysburg, Ohio.
 
Diaz and Smith don't have bonds set. Gonzalez, who was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, had bond set at $1 million in July. Smith's attorney is asking for a $50,000 bond.
