[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am stunned. 
Why does this horrible person get supervised release until his sentencing in *February*?!  People with far less serious crimes are not permitted this freedom. Is it because he wears a suit and fits a certain profile? He’s expected to repay the money? How the heck is he ever going to do that?

I feel sick. This @sshole gambled away my tax money. He robbed the county of business growth opportunity.

And meanwhile this black teenager was left to rot in Rikers for 3 years awaiting trial for stealing a backpack (later they found it wasn’t even him.) because his parents couldn’t post bail.  He later committed suicide because he was so traumatized.

This story made me so very very sad. Unfortunately what happened to this poor kid has happened before and will happen again. Posting monetary bail is just another way to force poor people to Plead to crimes they did not commit. And when they can’t post bail, they end up doing more time than they would have had they simply pled. Our justice system has been broken , corrupt and dysfunctional for a long time. [/quote]
