She ran over the kid in bed with a pick up and his body was not even hard yet when the judge- obviously in sympathy with her- lets her out of jail for $3500. The kid's dad is right- if the kid got caught with a dime bag in Cobb, he would have to put up at least $10,000 to get out.

Your original title to this thread makes it seem like a racial incident.
I know how important intellectual honesty is to you (I've read a lot of your stuff on the Elections Forum) so I did you a favor and fixed the thread title.

Um.. her "bond was raised from $35,000 to $100,000." (meaning she would have to put up $10,000) to get out.
The judge did not let her out on $3,500 bond, the judge raised it to $100K, meaning she'll need to post 10%.
She's also most likely going to jail for years, having been charged with 8 crimes, including FELONY criminal homocide.
How did she get off light?
Come back after her conviction and if she gets less time then others charged with similar convictions, then make an issue out of it..

Ok, I thought it was me.. I looked at the title, then the story, came back to the title and it was different. I was confused about what happened to the title because I knew it began out (again) as another KevK racial story.
Well, bail is a part of our judicial system. Murderers, rapists, pedopholes... about 99% have the opportunity to post bail and get out of jail before trial.
I suspect she will get 3-10 years in jail.
As for me, I'd like to see 10 years added on for people driving under the influence or those who leave the scene of the crime.

Actually that is only half right. The original judge that heard the case- probably a drunk too- set such a low bond that it was a joke and then AFTER the family raised hell and the Solicitor's Office started getting calls from angry citizens who found out that this apprently is a habit with thie woman, a different judge issued an order from his home raising the bail.

It is a story with a racial angle. It is much the same of all the stories posted here about "Is this a hate crime?" and such seeking to highlight black on white crimes and asking if the white is getting fair treatment by the justice system. I am just making a point that injustice rubs both ways.

Her bond was not $3500 Kev. It was $35,000. Still too low IMO.
The bond was raised to $100,000.
One reason typically for such low bonds is that at the inital hearings, the judge often does not have any previous arrest records (if any) on the suspect.

"Solicitors" office? We have no such thing in the US Kev
And, the Hearing Officer or Judge at the initial appearance is not the judge for the case.
I also believe it is very wrong of you to jump to a conclusion that the Judge at the inital hearing was "probably a drunk too" -
