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...
The purpose of bail is to reasonably assure that the defendant will show up for court appearances. Sandusky has nowhere to go, which is much different than a drug dealer.
