I wondered about that, too. Isn't there a constitutional guarantee of "reasonable bail"?

Hell, these people were fined WAY out of proportion to any "crime" they might have committed.

$135,000? Isn't that about right for bail on a big-time felony?

If I remember, the aggrieved couple came up with sixty five different types of mental anguish and physical ills they were suffering from being turned down.

I think the fine is based on that. So many dollars per ill.

Doesn’t the punishment have to fit the crime?
