I do not know if he has bonded out.  But he has friends.  Perhaps they will
raise the $500.

>>Shelly raises excellent points.
>>
>>We still need to focus on the fact that the local magistrate Hamlett saw
>>fit to grant such an absurdly low bail -- $5,000.
>>
>>Included in the factors that a magistrate considers when setting bail are:
>>
>>1.    Strength and seriousness of the case against the suspect.
>>2.    The flight risk of the suspect.
>>3.    The danger to the community of the suspect.
>>
>>
>>1.    Strength and seriousness of the case against the suspect.
>>
>>If the report in the Lewiston Morning Tribune (below) is correct, then
>>there appears to be little doubt that the suspect is infected with HIV and
>>knew that he was infected.  The other evidence, having sex without
>>informing his partner of his HIV status, rests upon an affidavit, a sworn
>>statement.
>>
>>A number of V 2020 posters have commented upon the seriousness of the
>>crime.  He may well have the primary vector in sentencing several people
>>to a lingering, horrid death.
>>
>>The job of the magistrate is to set the bail commensurate with the rights
>>of the defendant and but also commensurate with other factors including
>>those above.  This is a serious case with some potent prima facie
>>evidence. If the suspect has infected someone with HIV, then he is most
>>likely a murderer.
>>
>>
>>2.    The flight risk of the suspect.
>>
>>It is less than a four hour drive to the Canadian border if one obeys the
>>speed limits; less if one does not.  I lived in Boundary County for two
>>extended periods in my life, once less than a mile from the border, and
>>once less than five miles from the border.  In addition, I owned for more
>>than 25 years a piece of property only about 100 yards from the border.  I
>>also owned a piece of property for many years about 1/2 mile from the
>>border on the Canadian side.  Getting across the border in Boundary County
>>in both legitimate and illegitimate ways is very easy.  Once across the
>>border extradition back to the United States is very difficult (and
>>expensive for Latah County) for someone who has not been convicted and who
>>is not an American citizen.
>>
>>To arrange a $5,000 bail bound costs only $500 from a bondsman.  Is $500
>>too much to pay for freedom for someone likely facing an extended prison
>>term?  Hence there is some reasonable probability that a decampment may
>>take place if the suspect is released on a small amount of bail.
>>
>>
>>3.    The danger to the community of the suspect.
>>
>>If the allegations are true, and the prima facie evidence strongly suggest
>>they are highly probable, then the suspect has shown utter and callous
>>disregard for the life and well being of his prior sexual partners.  Hence
>>it is highly probable that if released on bail his behavior pattern would
>>continue.
>>
>>Here's an analogy:
>>
>>Suppose someone had shot with a gun and had mortally wounded a number of
>>persons over a period of time.  Suppose the suspect had demonstrated that
>>he was strongly motivated to shoot and he enjoyed shooting and mortally
>>wounding people.  Would a prudent judge release such a person on $5,000
>>bail and then let the suspect keep the gun he used?
>>
>>One of the functions of the magistrate in a bail hearing is to protect the
>>public.  How many more vectoring possibilities will occur if the suspect
>>is out on bail?  Or if he flees?  How many more people might become
>>infected and eventually die?  What was magistrate Hamlett thinking?  Does
>>he not care for the rights and welfare of the public?
>>
>>There have been numerous complaints and criticisms from credible people
>>about magistrate Hamlett's demeanor and conduct on the bench.  Perhaps in
>>the past the Judicial Council has taken some action.  Perhaps he is under
>>special monitoring from the Judicial Council even now.
>>
>>This lapse of judgment by Hamlett should be the last straw.
>>
>>One can only hope for two things:
>>
>>1.    Hamlett resigns forthwith.
>>2.    The Latah County Prosecutor petitions the court for a much higher
>>bail, say $250,000.
>>
>>
>>There has been some suggestion that the suspect is being singled out
>>because of his race and ethnicity.  I cannot speak for anyone else, but I
>>don't care what his race, ethnicity, gender, gender preference, age, etc
>>are.  It is a horrible crime of which he is accused, and I would consider
>>it such in his own homeland.

>>Hearing set for Moscow man facing HIV charge
>>
>>
>>By DAVID JOHNSON
>>of the Tribune
>>MOSCOW -- A Dec. 20 preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a Moscow
>>man charged with a felony count of transfer of body fluids that may
>>contain HIV.
>>
>>Kanay A. Mubita, 31, remained in the Latah County Jail Friday night on a
>>$5,000 bond after being arrested Wednesday by Moscow police. Latah County
>>Public Defender Charles Kovis has been assigned to the case.
>>
>>Mubita is accused, according to the criminal complaint, of having sexual
>>intercourse with a woman one year ago without first informing her that he
>>carried HIV. The virus can lead to AIDS.
>>
>>The woman, 27, has a child that Mubita told authorities he fathered,
>>according to an affidavit filed by Moscow police officer Paul Kwiatkowski.
>>
>>Mubita, who was born in Luska, Zambia, denied having sexual relations with
>>anyone else except his ex-wife, according to records. But an investigation
>>found that Mubita tested positive for HIV and allegedly "continued to have
>>unprotected sexual relations with different partners" without first
>>notifying them of his HIV status, according to records.
>>
>>Authorities also questioned Mubita about whether he had sexual relations
>>with a 26-year-old female, but he denied knowing the woman, according to
>>records.
>>
>>Mubita's arrest came after prosecutors forwarded documentation to police,
>>according to records. Kwiatkowski wrote in his affidavit that Mubita
>>agreed to be interviewed and came to the police station Tuesday on his
>>own. While he was being interviewed by one officer, another officer called
>>a health department official who confirmed, according to the affidavit,
>>that Mubita had been informed several times that he tested positive for
>>HIV.
>>
>>But Mubita, according to the affidavit, continued to deny having received
>>notification from anyone about his HIV status. When police asked him to
>>make a written statement, Mubita asked permission to go home and write it,
>>according to the affidavit, and police agreed.
>>
>>The next day, according to the affidavit, police received a phone call
>>from Mubita's case worker who said Mubita was upset about the previous
>>day's interview. The case worker asked police to check on him, according
>>to the affidavit.
>>
>>When officers contacted Mubita at his apartment, he said he had indeed
>>tested positive for HIV, according to the affidavit.
>>
>>The intentional transfer of body fluids which may contain the HIV virus is
>>punishable by a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
