I don't agree. You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Per the 1984 Bail Reform Act, pre-trial detention is admissible only where there's a demonstrable risk of flight or witness intimidation, or immediate danger to the public. That's the law.

We must follow the law. Judge Frensley determined Munchel wasn't a flight risk and posed no immediate threat to the public.
Pretrial detention is antithetical to the principles of our justice system (although it happens *far* to often--but two wrongs don't make a right.)

The guy is guilty as sin. But from the point of view of the law, he is innocent until proven guilty--which means either he pleads guilty or is declared guilty by a jury of his peers. The law must guide everything we do. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and him?
"too" not "to."
