Met an older man 2+ years ago. Recently diagnosed w/ cancer. Brought from hospital to court. Charged w/ armed robbery. Faced life in prison. Judge did the rare thing. Set bail in an amount he could afford. His wife bought his freedom. Released. What happened may surprise you.
@chesaboudin interested to hear your comment on this story and thread. Do you think his statement at the end of the story on cashless bonds is correct or no?
