The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Allowing an accused child predator to leave the country without surrendering his passport or facing travel restrictions is both unusual and suspicious. The apparent lack of conditions despite serious charges raises legitimate concerns about preferential treatment.
Pro-establishment narrative
The standard bail procedures were followed correctly in this case. Alexandrovich received the same $10,000 preset bail that any defendant would get for this charge. No special treatment occurred, and the release without conditions is completely normal protocol.
