A criminal defendant's right to be freed from jail on bond while awaiting trial is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights. The 8th amendment says a judge can't impose "excessive bail." But a national effort to reform bail laws is raising concern that dangerous inmates are being let out of jail where they can commit other crimes. Nancy Grace looks at the controversy with Beth Chapman, matriarch of the bounty-hunting Chapman family on the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" show and president of National Bail Bonds Association. Also in this discussion is Colorado bondsman Bobby Brown, and victims' rights advocate Marc Klaas.
