Judge inconsistency frees a ‘terrorist’
Surely this did not happen. I dug further. It did. Judge #1 ordered the accused held without bail. Judge #2 (same authority) overturned that decision (did he have the authority to do so?) and ordered the accused to be released on his own recognizance.
Confusion ensued, and order #2 was delayed for three days. Judge #2 apologized to the accused for having to stay in jail. Final result: Man was released on $10,000 bond. Unbelievable.
When a judge sides with an accused insurrectionist (whom I would call a domestic terrorist), is there hope for our democracy?
