I must admit I thought people were usually bailed unless they were:

1. a flight risk or no fixed abode/employment
2. imminent and proven threat to the public.
3. repeat offender.

I would have thought bail should have been granted unless there was good reason not to. Previously good character, high profile job, family life, etc. Also putting someone who could have been quite innocent and who has spent his life putting away criminals, in the same place as those criminals isn't a good idea for someone who isn't yet proven guilty.
