Brad and or his lawyers can petition the court for an own recognizance bail, in other words, he and his friends can convince the court that he will return to appear he can be released on his own "bond" or his word that he will return.  The whole idea of bail has changed from feudal days when bond was a guarantee by your "lord" that their feifs would appear.  It has been 'transformed" so that these days unless the court has a strong, organized OR bail system, it probably won't happen.  That means that even if you are innocent and the charges are dropped before trial, you are made to pay at LEAST a 10 percent penalty for your "crime", and to a bunch of slimeball assholes no less.  My .02...I worked for two years for the San Francisco O. R. Bail Project and I'm proud to say got many people released w/o paying the bail extortion.  Even got Lawrence Ferlinghetti out once...pissed in a cop car window when he was pissed....

What can we do as a group to see this option is considered? Brad isn't going anywhere but back to work when he gets out.

I told Karl this! Its a Califorina thing... You steal a car in Florida---say a Caddy SUV or a Hummer- get popped and walk on $2500 bail @ 10% for the bondsman=$ 250.00. I see it almost every day.

And the real sad part is that you can be accused by anyone,anytime, for almost anything. Sad system but the only one we have and thank God for Tort law if your wrongfully charged.

This thread has gotten too specific. I had hoped it would stay generic. I'm gonna close it now.

If you want to show support, there are a couple of open threads where it would be appropriate to do so.

Thanks!
