"The irrationally high bail"
Remind me again why you think the bail is irrationally high?
Oh, wait, I remember ...
1) Cause it is.
2) Cause Nifong is a vengeful little prick and we know he is because the bail is irrationally high
3) Cause people who live in Durham are too poor to make that bail
4) Cause hey, it wasn't like they beat her. It's just unlawful confinement and gang rape. Not gang rape plus aggravated assault
5) Cause if you're indicted for rape while on vacation in a state thousands of miles from home, the court shouldn't take where you live into consideration when considering the risk you won't appear for trial.
Yeah, you're quite the expert on criminal procedure ;-) Go ahead, tell us. You're a paralegal? You work in a courthouse? 'Cause you sure as hell ain't no lawyer ;-)
You're wrong. No surprise.
