But since the Feds won't be able to move to trial on those charges, they'll 
have to let him out on bail eventually.  "General dangerousness" bullshit only 
works during the preliminary proceedings.  Remember the Jake Baker case.  
Thirty days in stir and then dismissal.  Probably no dismissal for Bell but no 
major charges either.
