People can bond out on murder. That's not the point. Usually it's hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it.

She is released with $0 bail. On MURDER! Has a man who murders his wife ever been given that? If you can show me a case, I would love to see it. There would be outrage if there was.

Guy I knew several years ago had a bond of $10,000 on felony drug possession. But people get out for $0 for pushing their husband off a cliff?

This justice system is such bullshit. Don't try to tell me it's fair and impartial.

She had to post no bail at all. LisaL Sep 2013 #13

I don't agree with it, but to say she got it because she was female (as some are)? Give me a break. hlthe2b Sep 2013 #15

Bullshit. Studies prove there is gender bias in favor of women in the federal system davidn3600 Sep 2013 #16

In domestic violence cases, the opposite is true at every level and you know that. hlthe2b Sep 2013 #19

Really? No bail for any murder charge? So much for innocent until proven guilty. n-t Logical Sep 2013 #23

I meant none should get bail on their own recognizance, rather than cash bond... hlthe2b Sep 2013 #25

Well, that means poor people stay in jail and rich people don't. n-t Logical Sep 2013 #26

I believe in a sliding scale for that, as well... hlthe2b Sep 2013 #27

The sentencing should be very interesting.... davidn3600 Sep 2013 #35

I don't know... If she is found guilty and not punished, I'd agree with you, but as to a decision on hlthe2b Sep 2013 #38

You're right. And she is not a "risk to others" in that she is unlikely to remarry at the present. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2013 #24

Outrageous. Reversed the genders, and the man would get no bail 99.99% of the time. TransitJohn Sep 2013 #3
