Doug O'Neil will get a hearing. Nobody wants to deny him a hearing. But in the meantime, he needs to run out of the detention barn. That is the way it works in California and that is why people are furious about this. People are furious that Hollywood Park won't enforce the rule. As Ateam said, the main Hollywood won't enforce the rule is because Doug O'Neil has a ton of horses and if his horses don't run then there will be smaller fields. He runs 3-4 horses every day.

Rupert,
You picked a capital crime... murder. That's pretty much the only alleged offense that is not bailable. O'Neill is probably less of a flight risk than O.J. was.
