You were charged with stealing 1.7$ million from your employer and was caught in the airport with a ticket to Rio De Janerio. When you were brought before the judge, you ask for bail explaining that you have a sick mother that you need to take care of and can't stay in jail before the trial, you further explain that you were going to Rio to get special medicine for her. The judge refuses to grant you bail. Based on the amendments in the Bill of Rights, are they allowed to do that?
