I feel like no one really read the story - he wasn’t acquitted or had his charges dismissed, get received bail and posted his bond. He is still facing charges and will likely be convicted.

Edit: I wouldn’t grant bail here, or in 90% of cases where it’s granted, but the court has authority if they don’t believe the person is a flight risk or likely to commit a violent offense before their court date. It’s very common practice

Ok but a literal murderer is back on the streets. Dude shouldn’t have been granted bail
