Nearly 100% of the time, it is because someone rich and/or powerful speaks on behalf of the accused. I believe it has nothing to do with politics, because it is rampant in both parties. Just read a list of the bad characters trump himself has pardoned.

All elected officials, including judges, has one or a few donors who keep them in office as long as they do what that source of money wants them to do.

In years past, the risk of flight and danger to the community were the major considerations in setting a bond and conditions of release. There was also a nod to the severity of the crime and weight of evidence.
Sadly, the bail reform movement has weakened our bail system to the point that almost all pretrial defendants are wandering around and continuing to offend while victims and witnesses live in great fear. Society is continually victimized by this irresponsible process.
The sentencing reform movement has caused similar damage after conviction in that convicts serve little time so there is no deterrent effect and they are not removed from society.
But elections do have consequences, so vote wisely.
We need to counter these movements toward a renewal of traditional bail and sentencing for serious crimes.
Victims should also be represented in the court processes.

Oh look, it’s Breauxsif lying again for attention
As always, I have never advocated for Restorative Justice, and in fact, have repeatedly said it is utter nonsense that would do real harm if instituted. But you knew that already

It's a belief that the presumption of innocence is a legitimate thing and understanding that the primary point of bail is to ensure the defendant makes his/her court date.
