So if someone coughs up $200K, he walks. How does that happen?

It was $2M, but has been revoked and he will be held without bond.

That's great news. I guess the public outcry must have compelled the judge to reconsider. Or did another judge rescind the bond offer?

Both. All of the above. TN has a presumption for a bond in all non-capital cases. One judge did the $2M bond ($500K per dead body) and another revoked it as a result of the public outcry. He would have never gotten out anyway. If someone walked in there with $2M, the judge would just raise it to $10M to keep him in there.
