Shouldn’t Hsu’s record disqualify him from being released on bail again?

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.

So, let’s say a terrorist plots and succeeds in blowing up a building. But, fortunately, no one is killed. Are you saying the laws of Colorado would require the terrorist to be released on bail? That is insane!
