Prosecutors Nonsensical Argument to Retain $3M Bail MJEOL Bullet #145 Update Just when you thought prosecutors in the Michael Jackson case couldnt appear any more desperate, they always manage to take it a step further.Jackson was assigned a $3M bail amount before he was taken into custody.That amount was astronomically high and was unprecedented.Now prosecutors are arguing, in a new motion, that the $3M bail should stand because Jackson is a flight risk.By all accounts, its safe to say that Jackson isnt fleeing the country.And with this being 6 months after police ransacked his Neverland Ranch, it seems implausible that he would flee now as opposed to then.
