re: A Colorado judge has set Hsu’s new bail at $5 million, but the prosecutor — noting the two-time fugitive’s checkbook shows a $6 million balance — wanted a $50 million bail, the AP reported.

Why in the world would a judge allow someone who has a track record of skipping bail to once again receive bail? Shouldn’t Hsu’s record disqualify him from being released on bail again? One doesn't need psychic powers to predict that Hsu will skip bail once he is out of jail. Setting any amount of money for a bond for this man is a meaningless exercise.

You would think so but the law in Colorado prevented the judge from not offering him bail.

Under Colorado law every person accused of a crime has a constitutional right to have some sort of bond set, unless it is a capital murder case.

The DA asked for $50 million as a bond, the Judge went some way in that he set a record bond, five times higher than anything set before in that jurisdiction.
