IOW, they didn't want a bond approved if there was any chance at all he might be able to meet it. Isn't there something in the Bill of Rights about that?
Ah, here it is. Amendment VIII: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
The race hustlers want the punishment before the trial.
finally, someone GETS it!

Good Point. The Constitution just doesn't seem to matter to these people. This bond was excessive for what the court knew about his financial situation at the time. When the prosecutor and the court believed GZ to be penniless and destitute, the court hits him with a $150,000 bond. How was he expected to pay that???
The only way he was able to bond out was through the charity of his parents and perfect strangers. Well his financial situation is still the same. He's still dependent upon donations and the charity of others while facing a year of legal bills to boot.
So then Mr Rionda, given the fact that his finances consist of charitable donations from perfect strangers, just how excessive do you think that his bond should be??? How deep should perfect strangers have to dig so that GZ can have his Constitutional rights???
