>>>Well, they had him with a knife the day before and still took no action. Presumption of innocence is not an excuse for being dumb and putting lives in danger. The balance here was tipped too far in the defendent's direction.<<<

I agree. I know the court is not allowed to have a defendant wear any kind of restraints in front of a jury.
However, with this guys record and his obvious desire to carry a weapon into the courtroom, they should have made him watch his trial from a room where he was by himself and in restraints.

I heard he was still out on bond, even this morning - even after the knife discovery.

Something's wrong...
