Sandusky Posts Bail

There is one thing I am not understanding in this Jerry Sandusky legal matter. Why in the hell does the judge set bail at an amount that he can post? Initial bail was set at $100,000, which he posted. Yesterday Sandusky was arrested again as a result of a new Grand Jury report that contained new allegations from two more victims. The prosecution asked bail be set at $1 million. Instead, the judge sets it at $250,000. Sandusky spent the night in jail because he could not initially post bail. Now there are reports this morning that he has enough money and assets to post.

I don't get it. Sandusky is facing 50 counts of child sexual abuse from 10 victims. In my opinion, he should not be out of jail. He will be electronically monitored and confined to his home, but that's not good enough for me. Bail should have been set at $1 million and he should be sitting in prison through his trial...
