Aossey doesn’t deserve to be jailed

To the editor:
Why is Bill Aossey being held in jail until his sentencing? He is not a threat to run.
I have no idea who the federal judge in this case is, but the judge certainly could not have looked into Aossey's background.
He has never run from anything, his natural reaction is to run toward needs of others. He and his family do not deserve to be separated in this manner.
No possibility of bond for white collar crime is not normal. He has demonstrated for his entire life the ability and concern to help others. He certainly does not deserve to be treated in this manner.
Please, judge, reconsider your position on this issue and allow him to be released until sentencing.
