If he's found guilty, he'll be going to prison for a long time. There's no reason to go nuts because he was granted pre-trail bail. Remember that these rights also apply to you. If one day you are ever accused of a crime, I'm sure you won't be calling the justice system "ludacris" if you are granted bail.
Not sure people get arrested for these types of crime without a great deal of evidence........ I'm horrifed by this.
It's not cool, but I hope this guy does something horrific and some changes in the system get made.
