In what world does an alleged child rapist get bail consideration.

[FBaggins]

1. In all of the just ones

Now... ask how many actually GET released on bail when there are credible charges against them? That should be zero.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Where ju$tice prevails.

2. In the same world where the rapist gets custody of the child conceived during the rape, the USA. nt

3. Only in a backwards ass shithole nation does that happen

4. In one where the Eight Amendment applies

Do you see the "child rapist" exception in the Eighth Amendment?

Neither do I.

The considerations are flight risk and danger to the community.

The defense has offered confinement to home with electronic monitoring, a court-appointed in-home trustee to monitor the defendant, and no visitors other than as the court may approve, along with a variety of assets as security.

It is up to the prosecution to show that does not adequately address the two concerns.

5. Someone needs to put an ankle monitor on Barr.

6. One that doesn't let the state do whatever it wants to it's citizens. NT

7. C'mon. Justice demands that cases be evaluated on their merits.

Can I get anyone locked up for a few days or weeks or months simply by accusing them of something heinous?

A judge needs to look at each case and make a determination as to how credible the accusations are, how serious they are, how able and likely the accused is to flee, etc.

Justice demands that even Epstein gets a *hearing* as to bail.

Now, the particulars of this case certainly suggest no bail from where I'm sitting, but that's exactly what a judge needs to determine.

8. When a rapist occupies the White House, I guess anything goes

9. In the same one where the Central Park Five weren't summarily shot

as Trump wanted done. He shouldn't get bail but there should be a hearing.

10. In the world of rich people.

[Codeine]

12. In any just world.

Bail consideration doesn’t mean he’s actually going to be bailed out. It means his rights are being respected by the state as they rightly should. Hopefully his request will be properly and legally denied, he’ll be properly and legally convicted, and he’ll properly and legally rot in jail until he dies.
