Yes, I'm sure those are the only people in the sovcit movement who are capable of such things. Unlike the hundreds of people at the Bundy ranch who were doing just that and have yet to be arrested

The justice system, and judges, understand what you do not: A person's attitude and compliance can and normally will radically change after arrest and being hauled into court. Talking to a lawyer about how many years you face, and how you can limit those years is a nice cold slap in the face.

The system is supposed to default to leaving criminal defendants free to assist in their defense, earn a living, see family and friends, just like any other innocent person. To overcome that, one has to show that they are a danger to commit more crimes, a threat to safety, or likely to flee. Being a hanger on at a serious crime, even if guilty of the larger crime by way of principal liability, makes one less likely to be a future threat or to flee.

The guys who were real threats, who showed a propensity for defying authority, they're still in jail.

Do any of you actually think this woman is going to do anything, especially given that she had no previous involvement with the movement and her husband and the entire leadership are still in jail?

I think she is a risk to the community. Even if her presence at Malheur is explained by her being impressionable and subject to the influence of her husband (which unreasonably minimizes her agency as a 59 year old adult human being), that suggests she's likely to follow the lead of whatever Oathkeeper / three percenter idiots she inevitably winds up associating with once she's out. I don't think it would be surprising in the slightest if she winds up doing something stupid and criminal. Whether her risk to the community can be demonstrated to the clear and convincing standard required under the statute is a reasonable question. For my money, if you can show it for the rest of the final four, you can show it for her. The judge disagreed. Oh well.

The more likely risk is that she does not show up for trial. Being surrounded by the FBI and cut off from the world with a warrant out for her arrest did not motivate her to surrender. She did not surrender until they closed in to 50 feet away from her. Now we're supposed to believe that she is now somehow inclined to voluntarily face the music on the appointed date? Yeah right. And I think it is far easier to demonstrate that no set of conditions will guarantee her appearance to the preponderance of the evidence standard required for that basis for detention. I'm pretty surprised the judge found that she is more likely than not to appear under these conditions. All of her actions and words make it pretty clear she is not willing to face the consequences of her actions.

Either is sufficient to detain her until to trial.

I'm not sure where you guys come off suggesting anyone is arguing against either due process or the equal application of the law. There is a law that says you can detain people before trial if certain conditions exist. I am arguing that she meets those conditions. How on earth does that mean I am arguing for an inequitable application of the law? If the judge had bought the government's argument and detained her, how would her due process have been violated? Due process doesn't require she be released, due process requires she get a fair detention hearing, which she got.

Not "criminal record," "criminal history." He had the 2014 issue as his history, and even though unresolved, and therefor "innocent" the court can still consider, not for punishment, but for admin considerations like bail (or ability to pay bail, or roots in the community).

Like I said, the reference to Cliven was dumb hyperbole, however, if you want to argue that point Cliven's 2014 issue can't be his criminal history, that's what he's currently charged with. He has a history of ignoring civil court orders. If Bundy ignoring civil orders is somehow a slam-dunk case for detention, it seems difficult to just brush off Sandy Anderson's open defiance of a warrant for her arrest.

See, this is a fair discussion, if the judge doesn't consider her to represent a flight risk then she should be granted bail. It's just if you watched the live streams but have not been in the courtroom since it isn't immediately obvious that she doesn't represent a flight risk, so it's an interesting thing to happen.

To be honest, she's probably not a non-zero flight risk, but you're understating the burden of pretrial confinement to the average working class schlub and we absolutely want the requirements for it to be as stringent as possible, lest accusation become a punishment in and of itself.

In terms of her risk of flight though, her husband being in prison is definitely a factor in favor of compliance. Going on the lam means she won't get to see him or communicate with him at all until the end of his sentence, at minimum, and they both get to spend the rest of their lives as perpetual fugitives. If they cooperate then they can at least have a normal life after their release.

I just said just the opposite. It is his criminal history, just not his criminal record. If you have someone charged with rape, they may be eligible for bail, circumstances depending. If you have someone charged with 23 rapes, one per month for two years? Yeah, he's currently charged with all of it, so no criminal record. He's presumed innocent. But, the judge can consider the evidence the gov't gives him supporting the serial nature of the crime, and determine they are a future risk of serious criminal conduct.

Here, one, albeit one long, criminal endeavor is not as indicative of future conduct. Given removal of the opportunity to consort with her husband and co-conspirator, her limited financial means, and that she has a full time job? She's a typical candidate for bail.

Yeah, I would expect her to be pretty utterly beaten at this point. If she had any fight left in her she'd still be at the refuge.

I can definitely understand the arguments for keeping her confined but it is absolutely preferable for the justice system to err on the side of less people in prison.

I guess it's feasible that she could try to flee somewhere to escape a trial, though I really don't think someone who thought joining any of this was a good idea is very likely to be able to evade authorities for very long. Her best idea in that regard might be to hide out at a relative or friend's house, or maybe a motel somewhere? But I really doubt she has the money for that sort of thing for the long haul - or that she'd even be able to do the latter period because she would probably be too well recognized. Her husband is in jail and for all the stupid decisions that have been made between the two - they both seemed very much happy to make them together. Maybe I'm being a bit romantic, but I have a feeling that she's not going to really do anything that separates her in any permanent way from her husband. It will probably happen anyways when she eventually goes to trial and is sentenced. I think there's possibly more of a likelihood that she could try to do something bad to herself when looking at the reality and upcoming consequences of her actions. ..but I have a very hard time seeing her thinking the best course of action after all this is to just run out and repeat it all over again. There really is no advantages to that line of thinking - and it's going to be crystal clear in her - and others' heads especially right after being taken in and realizing they now have to face the music.

I'm pretty sure the FBI have bigger fish to fry than dealing with her. I doubt she has a lot of pull among the 3% ers and even if she does run she is a federally wanted criminal. She won't get far, these people leave trails like loving caterpillars.
And I wouldn't worry about her becoming a sovcit hero. These people are equally likely to crucify her as a false flag FBI plant.

The authorities recognize the women come from a strongly patriarchal system where they are deprived of agency, and are thus unlikely to misbehave on their own volition when deprived of their negative male influencers?

I don't know the name for it, but there's some argument that the lower ratio of women in prison, and the fact that a lot of women in prison are there for crimes committed along with a male partner, isn't indicative of any inherent lack of propensity towards crime by women, but of women's lack of social latitude to independently act, in many societies.

Pretty sure this is the guy's annoying wife.

And if you mean the singer who reported a potentially inaccurate and emotionally biased account of the Finnicum shooting, she was never charged with anything and probably shouldn't be based on available information. Singing at protests is not a crime (even if the protest has elements of one) and other than that she just happened to be in the car with a dead seditionist.

Because the dangerous ones are already held without bail. Those who are of lesser threat were released on bail. This could be a miscalculation on the part of the FBI, but as I'm gonna assume that they know how to do their jobs.
Look how much the movement suddenly quieted down when they arrested everyone. Do you honestly think Sandy can get the ball rolling for another occupation? They couldn't get the True Patriots to band together after the arrest of the ringleaders what makes you think they would want to associate themselves with a woman who's out on bail?
Plus you saw the reasons she was granted bail. Is there any legal reason, that you can bring up in a court of law, why she should be denied bail? There's a large burden of proof for that and I doubt the FBI would bother. If she was the sort to climb up a clock tower with a rifle, I'm sure the FBI would have done something by now.

And yeah I know she's a sovcit, I brought up the video with the AK teen, but I'd rather the system errs on the side of people instead of caution when it comes to denying bail. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but this has to happen. They can't treat every person in this like Cliven Bundy.

If she violates her bail in any way, then the system will punish her accordingly. What exactly could she do in her present situation?
And I like how you stack the rules in your favor, but I wanna be clear. She won't do anything intentionally malicious, like forming another armed group or going on a killing spree. She's more likely to do something stupid, like miss her court date. That's what I'm betting on.

Who cares about a crazy anti-government militia type who will flee or hide in a heavily armed compound being denied bail.

The real part of the bail system that's broken is high bail being used to keep poor people in jail. Someone is either a risk or they're not and wealth should not be used as a delimiter for that.
