It's also "the punishment is the process". It's often a feature, not a bug.
Rereading the article, another insane detail is the judge setting bond at $2M. I think for any person who actually was motivated to perpetrate a mass shooting, no bond would prevent it. And for most innocent people, $2M might as well be $200M. They’re sitting in jail until trial.
I think there’s an amendment about that or something but I’m not a lawyer.
