No, I'm thinking they're a flight risk.
The judge sided with the defense on that issue. I'd dearly love to see the transcript, who knows, I might even agree with the judge.
But, as an outsider who only knows what's suspected? I'd have held without bond. Guilt plays no part in that decision.

Lucky for them they happen to be brown adherents to the religion of peace instead of white, Christian, nationalists.
I seem to remember some armed good-ole-boys taking over federal land. After that they tried to run over federal agents. They still managed to get off scot free.

But why should they be considered a flight risk without evidence? So far all the prosecution has been able back up with a reasonable amount of evidence is that these people were bad parents/guardians. That usually doesn't come with bail denial.

Under what circumstances were they arrested? Can you honestly tell me that anyone accused of this sort of infamy isn't a flight risk?
Not saying they will run...but there is a risk, and you are smart enough to know that.

Already? They not going to use it for evidence? have they gone through it all that fast? This seems pretty damn reckless.
Or is this story just going to fade away never to be heard from again and these people walk.
Seems like the media, that judge, and whatever the hell else is going on, is trying to "disappear" this story

You want socialism because you want free stuff someone else has to pay for.
As of right now, no one. Bail has only been set. Not paid.
What about the accusations of training children for school shootings? Muslim extremism?
What about them? If the prosecution couldn't back those accusations up with evidence then the judge should not take them in to consideration.
The fact that they found the remains of a child buried near the property?
Once again, it comes down to the prosecution to prove that the child died from something other than natural causes. I don't even think the coroner has provided a cause of death at this point. So while the child's death is tragic it has no bearing on the trial at this point.
