Judge Won't Lower $5M Bail For Jailed SF IT Admin 429
snydeq writes "San Francisco County Judge Charles Haines has denied Terry Childs' motion to reduce his $5 million bail, alluding to 'public security concerns,' according to Richard Shikman, who is representing Childs in court. The ruling comes in the wake of a recent decision to drop three of the four changes that have been levied against Childs, who has spent the past 14 months in jail. The fourth charge — that Childs violated a California statute regarding illegal denial of service for the San Francisco FiberWAN — has been called into question by those closely monitoring the case. As a point of comparison, the San Francisco Felony Bail Schedule lists a $1 million bail for the most serious crimes, such as sexual assault of a child, aggravated arson, or kidnapping for ransom. Prosecutors have argued that the bail is appropriate because, if released, Childs could cause damage to San Francisco's network."

Just admit that he was presumed guilty before a trial you incompetent fools. You all are making yourselves look more and more like idiots, and the Childs is laughing his ass off in jail.
They may just be keeping him in long enough for all of his certs to expire.

Well, tradition for this is to bake him a cake with a file in it.
If that fails, then you and your buddies saddle up your horses and a spare one for him, then pull the window bars out.
Bonus points for shooting up the town marshal's office during the escape.

I don't think there's any such thing as a liberal police force.
