Key Points:
- Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold was granted bail while awaiting trial on felony armed robbery and kidnapping charges, aided by attorney Harvey Steinberg and a character letter from former Alabama coach Nick Saban.
- Saban vouched for Arnold's exceptional character, highlighting his respectful and humble behavior over six years, though he acknowledged not being fully aware of the charges.
- The judge exercised discretion in setting Arnold's bail at $1 million, influenced in part by Saban's letter and other factors, despite the letter's technical irrelevance to evidence sufficiency.
- As of Monday night, Arnold remained in custody and had not yet been released from jail, even though the Lions officially released him from the team.
