Sandusky is a scumn bag, but he’s no Manson of Dahmer.

He has a constitutional right to reasonable bail. Given the circumstances, 250K is reasonable.

Are you aware that in most child molestation cases involving just one victim, bails are set much higher? I don't think $250k in this case is reasonable at all. Due to all the victims continuing to come forward, including one of his own grandsons, Sandusky is clearly established as a danger to the community as well as his own household and should be kept in jail until his trial.

USA Today [which can’t be posted] had an article showing that Sandusky’s bail is very much lower than other cases of men raping boys.

that hilarious...low level dope dealers here in flyover get $50-100k bonds regularly...ya know, the type guys that have zero in the bank, dealin to pay the bills, not celebrities with trust funds and hi powered friends...

serial rape, for decades, with multiple grand jury sworn witnesses would seem to be a case where 'held til trial' would be the reasonable protection to the community at large...

also, while he might still hang himself or get dahmerdered in lock up, he may well be 'safer' there, than on the streets...
