>And to think, he's only on a 15,000 bail right now
So he was charged with first degree murder - punishable in that state by death or life imprisonment. And for giving a bail-bondsman the price of a used car he is free. Why would anyone consider him a flight risk? I'm sure that even if his "strong ties to the state" didn't keep him around he wouldn't risk losing his 10% of the bail amount just to escape a possible death penalty.
I think the judge was Hasty. <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
