He needed to be out on bail. The jails are over crowded.

You do realize bail is just a way to ensure a defendant shows up for its court dates, right?

It's not supposed to be punitive and the person is presumed innocent at that point in the process.

You guys can stop the manhunt! Just wait until he shows up for one of his countless court dates and arrest him there because he’s out on bail right now and this ‘ensures’ he’ll show up! No worries!

You think this guy was going to show up because of the bail he was given?

Ensuring a defendant appears at court is the purpose of bail. But how much the bail is set at is supposed to be determined by various factors which these new progs don’t want to consider.

Then how they ever deny anyone bail? Yet they do in some cases.

According to the Judicial Council of California, the purpose of bail in California is under the presumption of innocence the least restrictive approach to assure defendant’s appearance in court and to protect the public safety.

Given those two things from the article the OP posted, there may have been reason to require more bail depending on the background of the misdemeanor charges he bonded out for. Particularly if he was undercharged due to the political climate or because of overcrowded jails.

But if you cant afford bail you stay in jail until your court date. which could be a good wait.

So how is that presumed innocent?
