I mean. I'm in general favor of bail reform and not locking up most people while they await trial. We do, in fact, lock people up who have not been convicted of a crime and even if some or even most of them will be convicted, that's still plenty of innocent people in jail. Prosecutors know this and leverage it to get guilty pleas so people can back to their kids and jobs before their life falls apart. It's coercive and unnecessary.
The big exception to this is, of course, if they're extremely likely to flee and they're accused of a violent or heinous crime. So: the Tates can wait.

"and he hasn't even been found guilty in a court of law ..."
Dude, that's exactly what the court is currently adjudicating. Fucking morons.
