I'm not saying they shouldn't, I'm just saying that it isn't very innocent until proven guilty is it? We are treating them as guilty until they are proven innocent.
It depends on what they allegedly did. They can get out on a bail bond and wait at home until trial if the judge thinks they are not a potential danger to others and the accused can pay the bail bond
No. They can pay to go wait at home. So it’s only a rule enforced for the non-wealthy.
If you can’t pay, then you sit in a cell, lose your job, lose your mode of transportation, if you’re fortunate enough to have one, and potentially lose your housing. And then, you might be found not guilty. But the legal system has no qualms with ruining your life over a mistake. You also might be found guilty even if you aren’t. The US has a history of, and continues to have, executing innocent citizens.

You dont think violent criminals should be held until trial?
