      @CBS6Greg @Eat_Your_Crooks But to be clear, on the off chance he had some assets or money with which to make bail, we all would have been ok with this outcome. Not exactly. For many years, our judges and prosecutors have made the *right* to bail a right on paper only, and in practice unworkable.

    @CBS6Greg @Eat_Your_Crooks Prosecutors’ preferred outcome would be to remand everyone. But that would result in a lot of middle class folks’ lives being destroyed. Instead, they’ve abused bail to force plea bargains from the poor under threat of indefinite jail. This was never equal justice under law.
