I can only shake my head and wonder...

Attorney Argues That Rape Suspect Deserves Bond
quote:

“ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The man accused of brutally raping a 70 year old woman finally appeared before a judge Saturday morning, and a public defender argued that he should be released on bond….

…At Saturday's hearing, the lawyer representing the Public Defender's Office asked the judge to grant bond to Acosta, asserting that the victim did not believe Acosta was her attacker because she knew him and did not identify him as the suspect. She also said the victim's blood was not seen on Acosta.”


I have an idea. Since the public defender is so sure that her client is not the attacker, and insists on having her client released, then maybe the public defender can set it up so that the defendant can stay with her grandmother while her client is out on bond awaiting his hearing.

Gun Shy wonders out loud… How does someone defend the public by fighting for the release of a prime suspect in a brutal rape and assault? Maybe this is why they are often times called public pretenders.
