- vivekd 10y agoIt's not as unjust as it seems because he does have the option of applying for a bail pending appeal which would release him until his appeal date. Unfortunately to do that you have to show that you have a reasonable chance of succeeding, and he doesn't have that. He's going to lose the appeal and he's going to stay in jail until he divulges the info or the judge releases him. Just to give a bit more info here, this is not an unsophisticated defendant, this guy is a cop he knows the system and he knows what he's doing. He knows that he's better off going to jail for contempt of court than he is going to jail for kiddie porn. He's making a calculated decision to keep himself out of trouble, he's no martyr.
