    The Judge will be bribed and the case will be thrown out else, why should he grant them bail?

    The counsel for the defendants will contact the Judge before the next sitting and the case will be dead by then.

    The district has no jurisdiction to try this case due to the amount involved and the possible sentence if they are convicted. They must be tried at the Circuit court.
