$1 million bond is insane. #freebecky
Not really any more insane that a $5000 bail for someone making minimum wage. Bail amounts have to viewed in the context of the person's ability to pay it, not the amount. Bail isn't a fine, it is something to make sure you show the **** up to court. Her ability and willingness to pay $500k for what amounted to a cover charge for her daughter to get in to college parties, makes it pretty clear that bail needed to be more than $500k to complete her to show.
