I agree that the bail system is bad (both practically and morally).
To be clear though, people on bail have not yet been demonstrated in court to be guilty of the crimes they’ve been accused of. I don’t think locking up anyone accused of a crime while they await trial (which could be years) is an improvement.
Doesn’t the constitution guarantees a speedy trial. If he got arrested then they already have evidence tying him to the crime.
Yes, it does guarantee that. But you’re still going to be in jail for weeks to months until your trial is concluded. Many people have been held for years in pretrial detention before being released.
How long would your job keep you on payroll if you were arrested and held in jail? How long would you be able to pay rent or provide for your children? Even a few weeks is enough to be devastating to most people.
In 2019 the average pretrial detention for felonies in New York State was 10 months.
Seems like America has failed to keep up with its own constitution. Either hire enough people to actually expedite the process or throw away the concept that the constitution is important.
We have infinite money for wars, jails, billionaire tax cuts. We apparently don’t have the money to make our legal system work because Americans are too dumb to know the difference.
