No judge would order pre-trial confinement here.

Not a felony, not a crime that carries a ten year sentence or possible death penalty, not a violent crime. So he doesn’t even qualify for a detention hearing… let alone an expectation of it going against him.

His crime is serious politically… but it’s still a misdemeanor. Any jail time will come after conviction.
