Double standard?

...it being, that like it or not, your "net worth" will determine what the bail will be set at.....


...

... distinguishing between using a class warfare argument vs. pointing out a class double standard.

day 1...This class warfare angle stinks to high heaven.

day 3...surprise surprise

day 5...Dave, why do you insert class warfare into everything


...

"the net worth of the accused" Dave suggesting that the RICH should have to pay more for bail than others. As Dave is the resident legal scholar here, he should know that bail is NOT based on wealth

At the discretion of the court, bail may be posted in cash or by a written guarantee called a bail bond. The person who posts the bail bond is called a surety. Individual sureties are persons who collectively own real or personal property within the state with a net worth of at least the amount set in the order for bail. A motion is often filed to reduce the bail which has been initially fixed by the court. The motion is an application to the court for an order reducing the bail, stating the grounds upon which it is made. It must be filed within the time prescribed by law. The real purpose of bail is to ensure the attendance of the accused at all required court appearances. Therefore, if we can show that the accused resides and works in the immediate area or perhaps owns property in that area, the likelihood of that person's being admitted to bail increases.

(only fair to add)

In many cases the amount set by the court is excessive, considering the accused person's financial status, the nature of the alleged offense and other facts. That is why it is customary for this office to file a Motion to Reduce Bail and have our clients' bail reduced or released on their own recognizance.


so....the 17 yr old living with his mother (in a neighbourhood that doesn't sound too healthy) should pay the same as the duke people....


...

You should cite your source better

so....

2 males, 35 yrs old, same ethnic background..

male A, married, 3 kids, lives in his own house with a pool 3 cars lived in the area all his life earns $800K a year

male B, single, moved into the area 2 years ago, lives in a rented 2 room apartment, rides the bus to work and earns $70K

they both commit the same crime, should bail be set at an uqual ammount for both of them?


....

now, maybe you can fault dave K for the way he worded his post, but in the end, it all boils down to 'net worth'

Unless the DA can show a serious flight risk
