    I’m not arguing Tate should be in prison now, so your number 2 point is a strawman. You claimed: “They’re just keeping him locked up without a trial”, which is completely false. Why not just admit you made a mistake?

    The part about a killer walking free, was to illustrate that criminal evidence or things that must be seized, can’t be allowed to be in the hands of a potential criminal during trial. In Tate’s case obviously because he can move his values out of the country.

    To what degree they were used in the crime or were gains from the crime I do not claim to know. But why do you think he should be able to keep gains from crime during trial?
