      The default in the UK is to be released on bail. The current charges are for leaking documents, and the royals have made it clear they are not going to get in the way. His lawyers would have a field day with the police for not allowing bail, given what he’s currently been charged with.

      Hopefully that will change, now the investigation is officially open, but it’s the nature of our legal system.

        A reminder that they got Al Capone for Tax Evasion. Not the murders and racketeering.

        Sometimes it doesn’t matter what someone is arrested for in the end, as long as they see justice one way or another.
