You are in the minority opinion here ... and just about everywhere outside of Gun Advocate/NRA/white supremacist sites.

But:

Other then strangers donating to his defense to a pay pal ac ct he is indigent ...


Does that even make sense to you ... Bill Gates would be indigent too; but for strangers purchasing MicroSoft products.

Indigency is unrelated to HOW one has access to money ... only that he/she HAS lawful access to funds; even if those funds are not his own, e.g., parentally provided or legal defense funds.

I mean the point of bail is to insure he shows back up, His other passport was EXPIRED.


Yes ... And that is the reason the defendant is questioned regarding their ability to flee, i.e., financial resources and travel documents.

I'll have to read up on this, but I believe that passport he surrendered was the EXPIRED passport, not the valid one. That plus the money suggests contemplation.

Other then that he was following all his conditions, Now hes in solidary confinement for not telling the judge he was receiving donations from strangers which was common knowledge at the bail hearing.


Yes, he followed ALL of the conditions of his release ... Oh, except that one that would effectuate his not showing up for court.

And no ... he's not in solitary confinement for not telling the judge ... he's in solitary for KNOWINGLY representing false information to the judge ... information that is at the base of the bail determination.

Neither the prosecutors nor the defense brought this up hearing, BUT everybody knew about this website. Just my opinion.


True ... on the prosecutors part, that silence is called "a card to be played later"; on the defense side that silence is, "I hope you don't pick up on that." One is strains judicial ethics ... guess which one.
