A bail schedule that's set up to take mean income in Durham into account isn't appropriate when setting bail for someone who's from a community with a significantly higher mean income. Suppose Bill Gates is accused of raping a girl in Durham? You think a judge is going to feel bound by the bail schedule?
And look at you. I'm asking you to give a decent _reason_ for thinking bail was set too high, and you say Dave's richer than the other two. I ask you why that counts as a reason for thinking bail for the other two was set too high and you repeat your conclusion. Hey, it's always easier when you use your conclusion as a premise. Makes your argument's real compact ;-)
"A defendant's past record and standing within his own community is more indicative of whether or not he is a flight risk no matter what jurisdiction the matter is charged in"
Good luck with that one ;-) If you're ever, God forbid, the subject of a bond hearing while on vacation a thousand or two miles from home, you can try it out and see how it goes ... ROFLMAO
I take you aren't familiar with what you're talking about at all. You should stick to ridiculing published authors.
See ya'.
You ever read about the trial of Scottsboro Boys in the 1930s? 9 black teen males ACCUSED of gang raping two white girls?
THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGE was more important than any facts. Eventually, and after a great deal of horror and false accusations, the girls recanted. They were "pressured" into these allegations but they "accused" the boys but only because they'd been doing something wrong. So, they blamed the black male teens.
It was wrong then, it is still wrong today.
But you go right on having a fun time not seeing yourself as a bigot and believing that the "seriousness of the charge" is more important than available facts.
