Note the difference. In France the perpetrator is held in jail until
his trial while, as Mr. Muzi has previously posted, criminals in the
U.S. are allowed to run free and commit even more crimes while
awaiting trial.

 
Well, yes that does happen with disturbing frequency but with huge local
variance.

Let's put things into a perspective:
In each of the legislations mentioned, it is possible to hold people in
jail until the trial date if necessary (risk of interfering in Police
investigations, risk of repeat offence, risk of absconding where bail
seems insufficient).
In each of the legislations, it is possible to release people before
trial if it is not necessary to jail them.
With overloaded courts and often several years of waiting for a trial,
it would be plain inappropriate to jail people for crimes with a maximum
sentence of a few months.

In a number of posts made by Mr. Andrew the guilty party committed a
several further crimes while free awaiting trial for the first crime.

Re overloaded courts, etc. What does a company do when the demand for
their product becomes much greater then they are able to supply with
their current facilities and equipment.?
