Tate brothers argue they are not a flight risk; judge disagrees for the second time in two weeks
“You already know how this movie ends — they asked the same judge-shaped question twice in two weeks and got the same answer twice, because the facts didn't move, only the calendar did. That's not a legal strategy, that's a stall tactic dressed up in a suit, and the fact it's the same script both times tells you their whole play is "keep asking until someone gets tired." Rich guys get to burn two hearings finding that out; regular people get one public defender and a missed shift.”
“These are men who haven't been convicted of anything — presumption of innocence still means something in this country, or it's supposed to. Their lawyers made a legitimate flight-risk argument, roots in the community, ties to Florida, the whole — okay, one of them owns a fleet of cars specifically built for leaving quickly. That's not — I didn't bring that up. The point is due process takes time, and two denials in two weeks is just the system working exactly as designed, which is either reassuring or the entire problem, and I'm not touching which one that is.”
