From @Angelcat13 ’s link in post #618:

“A million dollars minus one dollar bail and we did not get it. We don’t set bail. Judges do. The bail was set at $200,000," Krasner said. "Why? Well probably because the commissioner who set the bail probably imagined that was enough to hold Keon King in custody. It wasn’t. Keon King had access to a lot of money and so he paid $20,000 bail almost immediately and was out of custody as a consequence of that, alright? This is the problem with cash bail."

Krasner claimed that victims are less likely to appear in court if they know that a suspect is not in custody.

"That victim is more likely to walk in the door of the courthouse and testify if that victim knows that the defendant can’t walk out right behind her if he’s locked up," he said. "Well, he wasn’t locked up here."

Sorry to quote my own post, but what are WS’s thoughts about how we can do better? How do we protect the rights of the accused and still validate the alleged victim/witness’s claims (and protect that witness)?

$21,000 is a relatively large amt of money for a 21 yr old to have on hand IMO.

Here’s the whole case update. Where did this monster get $21k for bail? He’s got to be selling drugs, who else has that kind of money?

And look at the car the guy with $21,000 for bail was driving. The subdued choice of vehicle makes a sad sort of sense if drugs are involved, but that's in sharp contrast with his recklessness, his outrageous behavior, he's now caught and completely cornered. Trying to "stay off the radar" is of paramount importance for dealers, and he surely hasn't done that.

Is he a dealer who also indulges in using himself, and it has taken hold of him completely? If so, he does impulsive things, things that may not make any sense whatsoever. Him leaving behind items at the school-- that seems to support such a scenario.

The only little patch of brightness I see is that with him potentially having such a mindset, Kada might be alive somewhere..

But the vehicle's proximity to Wissahickon Valley Park is to me unnerving, jmo. From what I read, hikers stumbled upon a Porsche in Wissahickon, this was a few years ago. A Porsche. Just sitting out on a hiking trail. Some older gentleman got lost in the woods and I think the car became stuck, and there it sat-- unnoticed for a time, and it was a relatively short time, but still, for any length of time-- an unnoticed Porsche. There are multiple unused structures, from what I've read, on the vast grounds. There are tunnels and underground caves. It's unsettling to me how many areas where this Camry was spotted... where there are so, so many opportunities for concealment nearby.
