I recall a case where a soccer player **killed a ref and tried to flee** and was still granted bail. Even at the time i thought "For christ sakes isn't he a flight risk not to mention he's charged with murder??"
Players describe punch that killed soccer referee | Daily Mail Online
Now this scumbag kind of resurrects my chagrin with the bail system, and this is coming from a civil libertarian who believes the system is generally weighed against the accused:
Man faces bestiality, domestic violence charges
"One of the victims told deputies Weaver told them to get off the “(expletive) mountain,” indicated he was going to kill himself and doused himself in gasoline in the residence. The report says a female infant and another child were in the home during the incident.
The report says Weaver admitted to forcing the adult female victims to engage in sexually deviant acts against their will, including watching him commit sexual acts with one of his horses"
One of the adult victims said Weaver has choked her until she passed out.
The report says Weaver “admitted to having a sexual attraction to children,” and that deputies would likely find child pornography in his home, including photographs of the child victim.
“Tim knew what he was doing was wrong and repeatedly asked us to shoot him,” the detective’s report says.
The state requested bail in this case be set at $500,000.
OK so he begged cops to gun him down, admitted to victimizing the child multiple times...How in the world should be allowed bail? It's like no matter how great a flight risk or safety risk, criminals can buy their way out of anything in this country. I would love to hear an alternate explanation
