My question: Why was his bail not denied.

The suspects bail was set at $10 million.

Because you need a reason for that, while you can just set outlandish bail and save you the trouble?
Outlandish bail is against the constitution.
The Excessive Bail Clause of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits excessive bail set in pre-trial detention.
Bail can be denied for several reasons, this person will never see another day outside of a detention center.
There’s more than enough reasons to deny him bail, because it is hard to do is not a good one.

Why are we feeding crops to our cars when people are starving?
This never made sense to me, and now it makes even less sense with the war in Ukraine threatening to substantially reduce the world grain supply.

A limb salvage operation, sounds unsuccessful.
Sometimes it pays to bite the bullet and amputate the limb.
