While I am not a fan of the statute allowing the detention of material witnesses, I suggest that if those of you who are ringing your hands out there would take the time and make the effort to read the various prior stories about this case you might understand what is going on here. A jail guard initiated a sexual relationship with a female inmate. This is a serious crime and an exploitation of a female prisoner. Unfortunately, the female prisoner is now "in love" with this guard. Her history with the law and the courts, as set out in previous news reports, also shows that she is totally unreliable when it comes to promising to show up and testify at the trial of the guard. So, by championing her release, you are in fact supporting exploitation of female prisoners by male guards in jails. Further, just to keep you from going all feminist about this, there are a number of cases where female guards have been in the same situation and have been prosecuted and jailed.
