>The perpetrator of a bail-set crime should not have less practical punishment for the crime simply because they paid their way out of part of the punishment. Except pretrial detention, which is where bail comes in, is done prior to adjudication (plea bargain, trial, etc.), not after. As such, the folks we're talking about haven't been convicted of anything. And if, as is supposed to be the case, that one is innocent until proven guilty, you're advocating for innocent people to be punished. Is that actually your stance on this, or were you not understanding the situation?
