plus you get the bail returned when you show back up at court, its not like they keep it.

Sure, you get it back, it just seems a little high. It isn't like she is a flight risk, the girl goes anywhere and people recognize her or she has a group of paparazzi following her.
This is site says the average bail for DUI is $15K. If it is DUI with an accident it normally is around $50K
This guy claims the average bond in cali is around $20K
Here is the most telling of the group. It is a list of average bond prices in Los Angeles. Among them: Burglary: $50K. Battery on a police officer causing injury: $50K. Assault with a firearm $50K. All kinds of embezzling: $20K. Perjury: $25K. Incest: $50K. When you get down to theft, even auto theft is only $50K.
I understand these are averages and I'm not defending Lindsay, she was stupid and seems to really refuse to admit that she has done anything wrong and fix her problems. I'm just saying had this been me once the charges were filed likely they likely would have reduced the charges without a trial and offered me a deal and none of this would have ever gone to trial. It would have been one meeting and it would have been over because that is what is in the public's best interest. Dragging Lindsay into court and spending 100s of thousands of dollars of the public's money so that a judge can scold her and give her a sentence that everyone in the room knows she won't serve is just wasting time, money and resources.
