No Marybeth...as opposed to a bond that would be too high to get him
out of jail...I am sure his parent don't have the infinite supply of
money you seem to think the conservative population of this country
has.
 
: i can only assume that you're too lazy or stupid to read a front page

: spouting your usual "it must be a liberal conspiracy" drivel.

Leave it to you to start with personal attacks when none where directed
at you...you live up to the stereotype of the typical duke student:

book smart, no common sense.

I have the article appearing today in the Durham Herald Sun...I don't
spend my time bowing to the Independant and the Spectator rags.
 
: the probable cause hearing is in october and the district attorney 
: requested the house arrest himself - in order to protect the victims,
: based on his knowledge of statements made by the accused regarding the
: victims which the district attorney chose not to reveal to the press.

Probable cause has NOTHING to do with the amount of a bond...if a 
person is charged with an offense, bond is set based on the totality
of the circumstances involved in the offense. Since he was ID'd by the
rape victim, hours after the offense occured...you set the bond high
enough to the alleged perpetrator CAN'T get out of jail.

Given your limited real-world knowledge, you might be better off limiting
your postings to your college major (mathematics).
 
: dont know what the going bond rate is for kidnapping and rape. anyone?

Again Marybeth - no common sense.

You speak like what you probably will turn out to be - a permanent student.
In school until you are in your late fortys who will go on to mooch off
of the federal government with an everlasting supply of grant money.
 
Maybe we shouldn'd have bonds for everyone, maybe we should just let
anyone who commits a crime and just forget about jails...

: and what paper exactly are you reading?

See above.

Oh yeah, maybe I should read the NANDO for true UNBIASED reporting...
I didn't bring political views into this, I crossposted to triangle.
politics hoping that you WOULDN'T read triangle.general and hoping
you didn't read triangle.politics.
