What Race is trying to say is that these men have been prejudged in the press and that they have been treated as guilty by the service in which they served. In pretrial confinement they have been subjected to restrictions and disabilities that implies a presumption of guilt.

There is no bail in the military justice system so pretrial detention for serious crimes is not out of the ordinary, and since when the investigation started there was every possibility that the defendants would be charged with a capital crime the detention was certainly warranted. Even in the civilian justice system bail can be denied in serious cases.
