BTW, I think he's guilty. But I have a problem w/ cops locking up LEGALLY acquired money.

Same here, elli1. Say, you don't think Stanislaus County would invest that $15k (short term) and keep the interest, do you? That kind of makes me think about the $3 million Santa Barbara has of M. Jackson's money. Was it a cash bond? What do they do with that kind of money lying around? Put it in a safe or invest it? Who gets to keep the interest when he's found "not guilty"? Just stuff to think about, I guess.

In most situations,bond is actuallly 10% of whatever is stated, so Jackson probably had to fork over 300,000 (still a good chunk of cash,lol).

I wonder about that stuff too, Sandylapper. And about how the rightful legal owner is deprived of being able to invest & earn income on that money that's supposedly growing mold in lockup.

And I wonder about how "evidence" can sometimes grow legs and walk right out of an evidence locker...
