These are serious charges, one having a concealed deadly weapon, they are a flight risk and the judge releases them without bond?

I bet if they were white they would still be in jail.

Why did it take a year and four days for this story to hit the news? 9:39 the police make the arrest and file charges, the do not set bail. expect the police are also as frustrated over this as you.

I was nice of this judge to release these three upstanding citizens visiting us from Pennsylvania. I am sure they worked so hard they were so tired they fell asleep in their car before they were able to pay for a hotel room.

Depending on the form it's in... MDMA is commonly known on the street as Ecstasy or Molly.

It's Ecstasy 10:19. It's popular with the electronic dance music crowd. I wonder what bar they were selling it at?

Not a judge, court commissioner is who sets bonds. Judges come into the picture when someone requests a bond review hearing.

No jail space people.Someone worse would have to be released to make room for these gems.Prison regs are tightening up.Overcrowding is a no no,but the judicial system absolutely denies that there is no room in the inn.It's a lose lose for us,and a win win for the bad guys.
