This case should also remind people why we have bail and the importance of it. If Mr. Zameer had not been granted bail he would have sat in prison for 3 years serving time for a crime he did not commit.

@ZoeDodd Indeed. We must also be cognizant that even with bail set a person may not have the means or the benefit of a surety with means to post bail. Therefore the person would also be sitting in jail awaiting trial for 3 yrs. The “justice” system criminalizes those who are poor.
@ZoeDodd A right which conservative politicians want to eliminate
@ZoeDodd And he would have had a much harder time helping his lawyer to mount a good defence.
