Original Note:
"adventurous fern bullfinch" has confused the amount set for bail with the charges being dropped. One of the many things D.C. did that increased crime was ending cash bail, so the fact that the accused felon was released on his own recognizance is the norm, not an exception . https://www.npr.org/2018/09/02/644085158/what-changed-after-d-c-ended-cash-bail
