>>Judge wanted $250K bail. DA insisted on $20K CASH bail.

I’m confused.. Why would the DA insist on LESS bail than the judge was willing to grant?

Because he knows the guy can’t come up with $20,000 cash and will be in jail until the trial.

Bail you just have to put up 10%..
Cash bail you gotta put up the whole thing...
25k one way..
20k the other way

A 250K bail only needs 20 to 25K in cash
It’s technically the same. Bond companies underwrite the rest.

Bail is only to keep them from fleeing.

I think this author is lazy.

10% of 250000. was not cash only?
20,000 cash only.
My guess anyway.
