MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The lawyer for a man charged with taking pornographic pictures of his 2-year-old granddaughter asked for lower bail Wednesday, saying the man wasn't a flight risk and could stay with his two sisters. Manchester District Court Judge William Lyons planned to issue a decision by Thursday on whether to reduce Richard Hawes' $200,000 bail. Assistant city solicitor Michele Battaglia argued against any reduction, saying the state considers Hawes an extreme danger.
