And just like that, Cons stopped worrying about lengthy pre-trial detentions.
And for the umpteenth time, bail is not a tool to lock up criminals. It is a tool to ensure that the accused returns for subsequent appearances.
In fact, people on bail aren’t guilty of the crime, they are accused of the crime. It is the trial, or the plea agreement that changes them from accused citizen to a criminal.
At some point there is no solution, at least through government. If such were the case then all countries could simply just adopt such solutions and all countries would be wonderful places to live. Why are people flooding to the US border?
