[@kristinowens4972]

Emrid Atla That is a completely different topic. This guy bailed out which means he had money for bail. With your comment you seem to be suggesting that kidnappers and stalkers with money should be allowed out to finish the job. What California is saying is that a judge should consider many factors to determine if a suspect is a flight risk not just how big their wallet is. It about people getting charged with small crimes having to stay in jail, possibly losing their jobs and homes, because they can't afford bail. While richer people can walk Scott free. This guy shouldn't have been allowed out bail or no bail.

@@TruckTaxiMoveIt people are held in jail for lesser crimes such as drug possession or burglary (different from robbery, burglary occurs when no one is in the home that is broken into) until their court dates. this is done when people are either likely to commit more crimes if released, or likely to skip their court dates. In the case of domestic violence, the likeliness for more crimes to be committed during the time between their release date and their court date is extremely high and happens all the time. Therefore people who commit domestic violence should be held in jail on higher bonds which they are less likely to be able to pay, and therefore less likely to get out before their court date.

The saddest part is that she had already planned to get her locks changed, she obviously knew her ex still had a key and was scared. It’s too bad he hadn’t changed the locks a few days earlier

[@hahna77]

Exactly what I was thinking. Thank God she had the good sense to at least make the appointment.

[@dalewalker4614]

According to the news report the woman called the locksmith and made an appointment for the next day. The locksmith met his obligation and showed up as scheduled. Everything else we know nothing about except for what the sheriffs told the reporter second hand and she then related to us third hand. Although unfortunate that she didn't have her locks changed sooner, it is very possible that the need to have her locks rekeyed came up very suddenly.

[@danav3387]

Change the lock right after buying a glock...

[@jessicalynn6285]

If he would've changed the locks a few days earlier, that guy probably would've broken in or forced his way in and held her there. Considering how far he took it, I don't think a locked door would have stopped him. And then she wouldn't have had the locksmith to help her. So maybe it's not "too bad" but "Thank God" the locks hadn't been changed yet. ☺️

[@CikisHelyzet]

Jessica Lynn ... Exactly! It was her good fortune the appointment was scheduled while he was there otherwise no one would have intervened and she would have suffered plenty more than she has, if not having lost her life. Locks don't keep psychopaths out. Seems like every second guy out there has lost his mind. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@MGower4465]

I have said it many times. We do not have a justice system. We have a legal system. A court of law. Justice does not get a peek in the door. And its not always the judges...bail may be set at x dollars based on the offense, and if you can post it, off you go. That's when government tries to make sure "everyone is equal". Everyone is; every (alleged) crime is not. Friend of mine had her ex flip out, he barged in the house, ripped out all thd phones and took her cell. Threw it all outside. She didn't say what else he did, but I doubt it was a discussion of how to patch things up. She managed to get away, ran to a neighbor, who called the cops. Eight cops showed up, and all 8 walked her back to her house. She saw the guy's car was gone and told the police it was okay, he was gone. Cops were, "No, ma'am. We are not leaving you until we check the house." You guessed it, dude had moved his car to bait her, and he was waiting. Cops made his acquaintance and carted him off. Dude faced charges much like this guy's, except he was already on probation one county over, and they welcomed him back until his new trial could be arranged. No bail for parole violators.

Why bail out? I hate this. How many times does this scenario end with them getting out and murdering the woman? I can think of a few cases just off top of my head.

[@Athena124]

@Esoteric x That is a good point, yes i made that comment assuming he was guilty, but you are right sometimes an arrest happens based only on the word of the “victim”, who is lying. I wonder how common that is? That would be interesting to know. OK, so to protect a man (there are exceptions but for purpose of this example, i will use most common) who may have been falsely accused, bail is permitted. However, it is alarming how many times an actual abuser gets out on bail and kills his partner. Do you have any suggestions? Only thing I can think of right now is to make sure the perceived victim is notified upon bail release, so she can take necessary precautions. PS If a woman lies about abuse or rape and is caught lying, I think there should be a substantial punishment. Sometimes you have a crazy ex determined to ruin a man’s life and he has a right to defend himself, clear his name, and continue living his life. It is a dilemma for sure.

[@jessicalynn6285]

@Esoteric x This makes me think of the woman caught on camera in the elevator beating herself up and then saying her boyfriend/husband did it. While we know more from an unbiased person and the fact that he was at HER house with HER phone, you are absolutely right. Another woman in the same situation could've invited her ex over to "talk" and then lured him in to have rough sex. Yeah her ex, that scumbag who slept with her best friend? She's letting him think she's considering taking him back and all the texts messages say they should talk through their problems. Ha. That asshole is history. And the appointment with the locksmith sure is convenient... She will show him it was a bad idea to fuck with her once she has him arrested for rape. Yes, detective. I asked him to come over thinking we could talk through it. He got angrier and when I mentioned my best friend and counseling, he snapped. He was laughing the whole time he was hurting me, raping me, saying it belonged to him. Thank God, that locksmith saved my life.

@@snowflakehunter The factors weighed by a judge in setting bond vary from state to state and county to county, but generally speaking the judge has broad discretion. Statutes commonly specify not only flight risk but the severity of the crime and danger to the community. Here in Arizona, the statute allows the judge to take account of how the alleged victim will respond to bail being granted. No, the real problem is that judges so often abuse their discretion and let violent offenders out on their own recognizance just because they say they don't have any money to post bond.
