Yesterday, California Supreme Court heard aural arguments in the landmark cash bail case that tackles that issue. K. Cody's Kate Wolf explains. The court is weighing whether to uphold a 2018 appellate ruling, which found that judges must consider a defendant's ability to pay for bail when setting a bail amount. That decision came after San Francisco man named Kenneth Humphrey, who was suspected of robbing an elderly neighbor of $5 and a bottle of Cologne spent a year in jail because he couldn't pay his $600,000 bail. Here's some for his lawyer, Daniel Voll Choc. We are talking here about the government locking people up presumptively innocent people keeping those people from their homes, their jobs, their Children or other family members, Lawyers for the state told the court. They agree that the cash bail system is unfair and a defendant's ability to pay should be considered. But argue that if the monetary bail system is phased out, more people should be detained. Pretrial. Christine Soto Dewberry of the prosecutors Alliance, says the real debate here is how to move away from cash bail and they're looking to develop a system that will be more equitable that will treat people of different incomes.
