Two current stories about defendants on the loose:
- The Blotter | Seattle man skips bail, costs family $100,000 | Seattle Times Newspaper, Oct. 30, 2009. The man is accused of shooting well-known Black Diamond sound engineer Tom Pfaeffle.
- Seattle 911 | Men skip out on trial; jury says guilty, not goodbye | Seattle P-I, Oct. 30. Two men fled during their trial for conspiracy to distribute ecstasy. The jury convicted them and now they also face penalties for fleeing during trial.

Bail should only be granted to those who are not flight risk.
Fleeing just increases the accused's guilt. If one is innocent, he/she must submit to the authorities or law.
