1. The primary suspect (Saraj Wahhaj), the primary suspect, was NOT granted b ail.
2. His wife, was handed over the ICE, and not granted bail.
3. Bail for the remaining adult defendants, was set at $20K each. So far, none have made bail.
4. The judge was elected by 80% of voters. She was originally appointed to the bench, by Republican Governor Susana Martinez.
5. If they were indeed held on a "signature bail", why are they still in jail, waiting for their bail to be paid out?
There's quite a bit more to this case, than Fox & Friends' sensationalism, amplified by the usual suspects. While one or two of the defendants, may identify as Muslim (though this is not certain), the rest seem to include one French Canadian (Saraj's wife), and at least one more, who identify as part of a Christian cult. From the Prosecution's statement:
[quote]Prosecutors alleged the family came to New Mexico to prepare for Abdul-Ghani's return as Jesus. The family believed Leveille received messages from God through the angel Gabriel, FBI agent Travis Taylor testified.
One of those messages was for the family to go to New Mexico, where Morten had property, and to continue rituals that began in Georgia to expel demons from Abdul-Ghani's body.
The boy suffered from seizures, requiring constant care and medical attention, his mother, Hakima Ramzi, previously told CNN. After a trip to Saudi Arabia in October 2017, Siraj Wahhaj said he wanted to stop giving his son medication and perform rituals to "cast demonic spirits" out of his son's body, Ramzi told investigators, according to prosecutor John Lovelace.[/quote]
Facts do matter, but it seems to me, having reading a bit more of what actually happened in court, and the evidence presented by both sides, that the gray zone is rooted in religious freedom, especially given the wide variety of religion sects that call New Mexico home.
Not a political issue.
