I think that article lays to rest some convuluted theories, It sounds like they suspected that there were prescription drugs in the house and they took their time planning it if dogs ended up dead.

The law has to apply equally to all and in the eyes of the law and in court you are innocent before being found guilty - even if caught red handed. What if, there was some strange (unbelievable as it may be) situation that caused you to be involved in a crime like this and yet there was some mitigating circumstance or possibility of your innocence? Bail and what it is set at is available if the judge makes it available and they know more about this than you and me.
Bail is often denied or set at a level that the defendant cannot possible procure anyway if they are considered an extreme danger or at risk of flight. We would need more information on the circumstances of this case to say anything on the matter.
