Anyone want to understand the failings of money bail? Look no further: strong evidence of a white shooter motivated by racial bias committing a double murder with an assault rifle. But wealth sets him free.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/11/20/kyle-rittenhouse-accused-kenosha-shooter-released-2-million-bail/6363593002/ …

Joscha, I respect your work but you’re missing Chesa’s point. It’s unjust to use one’s ability to pay to decide whether they are let out. Poor people accused of minor offenses stay confined while more dangerous wealthier individuals are let out.

Her point is idiotic at best. Bail is set based on extraneous factors primarily flight risk. Ms. Rittenhouse has stated she has $1.20 in her bank account, this isn't about wealth - this is about crowd sourcing commonsense against an unjust sentencing of an innocent person.

Actual question: it’s my understanding that in most states bail is refunded after you appear for trial - what happens to the money if the bail is crowdfunded? Does Rittenhouse get it?
-
Bail is returned to whomever posted it minus a percentage.
