Sure, but is the mother there for murder? Does this cost more than some alternative that’s “too soft”?

She is accused of murder.

  Harrell, 24, has been jailed without bond since July, when she was accused of fatally shooting another woman and charged with second-degree murder

Sure, but what's your point?

Being accused of murder can lead to detainment, which naturally bears the risk of temporarily detaining innocent people. That's the tradeoff society has agreed to.
