You're not making sense, Biggie. No one is throwing law out the window here.
The suspect in this case was charged with the murder based on probable cause and evidence. A guilty plea, confession or jury/judge will determine if he is 'guilty' or 'not guilty' under the law.
That doesn't apply to the court of public opinion. And, someone expressing the opinion that those legally charged with premeditated murder shouldn't be able to bond out of jail until the case is resolved is not equivalent to someone expressing the opinion that the law be thrown out the window.
Judges can and do issue 'no bond' in some violent cases like this one - that's within the law. And, the vast majority of those charged aren't able to bond out when the judge sets it at $1million (also perfectly legal); judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys know that full well. This suspect just happens to come from a very affluent family.
