He’s on bail, house arrest. People need to stop being so dramatic. Bail happens, even in murder trials.
The purpose of bail is to insure the accused’s appearance at trial; and rarely, (supposedly, but more and more often not) denial to protect the public from a particular and imminent menace.
I see a very disturbing trend in wanting to use it as pretrial punishment, as well as a steady escalation of what constitutes the Constitutionally mandated “reasonable bail”.
It reinforces the erosion of the “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” mandated presumption of innocence within the legal system: not to be confused with personal opinions of members of the public, which carry no legal weight or obligation.
