    yea, I’m extremely anti-trump, but i don’t have a problem with this. Unfortunately the American legal system operates on cash bonds, and i have no doubt they charged him a real high rate.

      I don’t understand your comment. You’re saying a bad thing is okay because it’s happening to a bad person.

        Not at all, Im saying its OK for a bond company to help a bad person get a bond, since that’s part of the american legal system. I would prefer cash bonds be gotten rid of entirely, since a wealthy person who is a flight risk shouldn’t be able to just put money forward, while a poor person stays in jail.

          This is not a bail bond, this is an appeal bond.

          Bail bonds keep the accused out of jail before trial. They have a lot of problems.

          An appeal bond is used to delay payment that someone owes after a trial, like Trump owes to Carroll.

            Fair enough, thats a difference I wasn’t aware of.

            Its still how the American legal system works, and if appeal bonds are available, they should be available for all.
