Consequences? Bring them. Meng can witness the consequences from her jail cell. Her multiple passports and Communist Party advocates cannot get her out of this problem.

Welcome to the realm of evidence-based justice.

Feels a bit vindictive for a purely (unproven) crime of selling routers to Iranians? The pre-trial detention is almost undoubtedly worse than whatever her sentence will be.

I support letting murderers wait at home for their trial. Why not the white collar accused as well?

She is facing multiple charges each with maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.

If the prosecutors think there is risk she flees to country with no extradition treaty with US (Mainland China), nabbing her may be justified.
