Cash bail repeal has been done in a lot of jurisdictions and it's a favorite target of conservatives as a "soft on crime" policy but really is just basic fairness. Bail is only intended to insure that defendants appear for trial. The underlying crimes are never supposed to be a consideration. Until the trial happens no guilt can be assigned and confinement is unconstitutional.
