CAN'T MAKE BAIL ..... DON'T SWEAT IT

by Bob Walsh

The Supreme Court of the formerly great state of California has ruled that the ability of a criminal suspect to make bail MUST BE one of the considerations as to what level of bail (if any) is to be imposed.  

Does that mean that a rich felony DUI suspect can be hit with a $100,000 bail but a double-murder suspect gets to walk ROR?  It isn't really clear yet.  I have no doubt it will work itself out in the wash, hopefully with not too many dead witnesses left in the background clutter.
