Steve Friedland, Senior Scholar and Professor of Law of the Elon University School of Law, provided analysis for WFMY News 2 in Greensboro, N.C., for a Jan. 12 segment on the bond amounts set for defendants charged with driving while impaired in wrecks that end with fatalities.
Bond amounts, he said, are “about making sure they return to court and about making sure they are not a danger to the community at large and the judicial process.”
