Strangely enough his wife was not granted bail, the one without the criminal record, the one who didnt rape the girl..

Actually when bail is set...it is supposed to be set within the means of the defendant to make bail...or if bail is not set it is supposed to be because the defendant is considered to be a danger to himself or others...but judges do pretty much what they choose to do...until they are over ruled by a higher court...and most of the time defendants do not have the financial ability to appeal to a higher court.
There is a saying among attorneys that the law is whatever the judge says the law is.
