Reply to comment by lantonas in Despite Criticism, Judge Jiron Likely To Be Retained by lantonas

If you don’t want to be seen as a troll, your best bet is to lay out your ideas for bail, and then either square those with constitutional law or admit your hurdles. Otherwise how do we prevent not-guilty people from rotting in jail for a year or two before their trials?

Seems like with a history like this guys maybe some common sense could be involved...

Violate probation... Maybe you get detained. Multiple convictions get detained.

To my lay ears that sounds like imposing a “prior bad acts” factor on bail- again, unconstitutional as it stands. The right to a speedy trial stands in far greater esteem compared to a nebulous ‘presumption of guilt.’

You should be aware that Common Sense Fallacy is a thing and your best bet is explaining how it would work rather than implying it’s too simple and easy to explain.
