From what I read Bansley's bond is higher than Sparkman because he was charged with possession of stolen property found in his car. A defendant telling a police officer that he was high when he committed the crime is usually part of a calculated plan to try and get drug rehab rather than jail. And believe it or not, it sometimes works. I personally find it reprehensible but that it only my jaded opinion from dealing with criminals for 35 years.
