Why do you publish arrests for which the alleged has not yet had a trial? I thought in America one was considered innocent until proven guilty!??
Not in st Mary’s, your guilty until proven guilty literally at every bond review you are automatically seen as guilty for what your charged with. It is just up to the judge if he feels safe releasing you based on the details of your charges. Most people don’t even have time to fully understand what they’ve been charged with at the time of the bond review. But, are still being judged without solid evidence.
