Oh, please, Marajade. The court almost always goes along with the DA's bail amount request. Bail reduction hearings are common and the judges always get around to hearing them, particularly when the defendant remains in custody. It is then and only then that the judge really looks at the issue of the current bail amount. The DA request an amount and declares that the amount requested meets the guidelines, to the extent that a particular jurisdiction has a viable guideline.

Are you saying you're misdirected in that you are pointing a finger at Nifong rather than the judge in relation to your displeasure at the bail amount that was set?
