From what I understand, yes. This guy is innocent until a trial or plea bargain say otherwise. Bail reformists argue that whether he gets held until that trial shouldn't be dependent on his financial situation.

If the court thinks he's a danger to the community or a flight risk (like in your scenario), they always have the ability to hold him "without bail", but it seems like they chose not to do that here.
