Hmmmmmm what example are we setting
Bail again? These serious gun cases need to be handled tougher. Too many shootings going unsolved or brushed aside.
You grant them bail to go back and fo the same thing again?
If you dnt know what happened you shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Thus article in and if itself has incorrect information.
Granting bail is standard procedure, but the focus should remain on a fair trial and preventing further incidents in the area.
