A judge denied a Seattle man bail on a DUI charge because the man was currently free on his own personal recognizance bond following a prior DUI conviction. According to sources close to the case, some are questioning the judge’s decision to deny bail, claiming that he used it as a form of punishment for the man’s actions. While judges may deny bail if there is a willful violation of the release, some question the legality of keeping the man in jail following this recent arrest.
