  1.  @robertschreckenbach596  - he had NOT!!!! Been convicted of a crime yet! Bond is not parole. If he had been convicted your bond ends and you are given jail time. Taken into custody right then and there or told when to come back to start your time. Your Bond is still done though. So for him to be out on bond for another crime means he has not been to court yet. He has not been convicted. He has no record of conviction. As such the judge can condemn him for something he had not been convicted of. Don’t get me wrong, the man is guilty of the second crime. Too many witnesses, video evidence. However, he has not been to court yet. The courts can’t look ahead and predetermine the outcome and say - Sorry, no bond for you based on the evidence and prior bonds for another crime. He has not been found guilty of anything yet so, the judge can’t say she is withholding bail based on them. The Judge also needs a good reason Not to give bond such as based on his record from past crimes, I can see he seems to be a violent offender so I am denying bond. Or because the women is in the hospital and is not likely to survive, the charges met be changed and I believe him to be a flight risk so no bond. None of that happened. He attacked a female from behind, no weapon used. He then pins her to the ground to sexually assault her but is stopped before and bodily damage was done. Both crimes are considered petty. Attempted rape is not the same as rape. Different factors to prove. He has no history of it (meaning no other convictions) the judge has no good reason to deny bail. It is unfair but he has the right to a trial. The courts are backed up. He can go to jail for that time and the state can spent thousands of dollars defending the right to no bail. He then is convicted but under the law, he has already served his time so he would be allowed to go free. Had he beat her so bad she had to go to the hospital - different charges. Had he used a weapon - different charges. Then it would be worth the time, money and effort to fight his right to bail.
