All these cries about bail make no sense to me.

Even with his wealth and network, the guy is probably going to prison for many years. Before that he gets to live a little longer as a relatively free man.

So what?

Peoples brains seem to shut off and they just focus on this brief pre prison time like it’s some circumvention of justice.

It’s very difficult to collaborate with lawyers on a defense if you’re awaiting trial from a jail cell rather than on bail.
