This item came through CNN's breaking news feed this morning:
What exactly is there to negotiate? If you are charged with a crime, you either turn yourself in or the police come and arrest you. Or you go into hiding and hope they never find you. Are they thinking they can get a bigger cell or a private toilet? Perhaps he's hoping to bring his own sheets. Whatever.
I understand that the wealthy have the resources to secure the best possible defense and are more likely to make bail and generally spend less time behind bars than accused who lack sufficient resources, but I can't see where someone charged with a crime has any room to "negotiate" their surrender.
