Has anyone here logically thought about all of the issues, benefits, detriments of bail, or do you just assume its good 'cause we have it, and 'merica?
People either shouldn't be released at all, or they should be released pending trial.
With a presumption of innocence, bail (if you're not aware) usually imposes a permanent cost upon the innocent. That doesn't seem to fit our presumption of "American Justice", which in reality, is anything but.
