“His sentencing is scheduled for May 3. The prosecution asked the court to detain Barnett until that date, but the motion was denied by Judge Cooper.” Why on earth would you not detain him?

Hopefully to give him one more chance to fuck up his life. He doesn't think he got a fair trial, so maybe he won't show up to sentencing and the Marshalls will have to pick him up.

Probably because he's met all the conditions of pre-trial release, and nobody believes he'd be bright enough to be a successful fugitive. That, and none of this time on release will count towards his pending sentence.
