What is the name of your state? Massachusetts

I am released on my own recognizance for arson, B&E at night time for felony, receiving stolen property, and A&B on a police officer.

In the future, Can I always be released on my own recognizance?

Maybe, who knows what they'll be doing in 10 to 20

What kind of crazy system releases a person with at least three felonies on their own recognizance??

CAN they release you O/R in the future? Sure. Should they? Absolutely not! Given the charges you listed, if true, MA (or your local court) is truly screwed up for doing so this time!

Well, after having a couple of cups of coffee ... and getting over my initial jaw-dropping, knee-jerk reaction to the thought of releasing ... yes, now that ou mention it, I can think of a few reasons.

I guess if they were rocket scientists we wouldn't catch as many of 'em.
