Noteworthy events
In April 2018, Feeley received media attention after it was discovered he had lowered the bail for a suspect who allegedly later killed a sheriff's deputy while on release. John Williams, who police alleged had killed a sheriff's deputy in Maine on April 25, 2018, had been released on bail in Massachusetts several weeks earlier. Williams had been arrested in Massachusetts on March 22 on firearms charges and initially held on $10,000 bail. Over the course of Williams' appearances before him, Feeley lowered that amount to $5,000. Williams posted the $5,000 bail on March 31 and was released.[5]
