Woke judges in America's fastest-growing city Spokane are slammed for releasing dozens of suspected pedophiles and rapists without bail - including notorious cop who raped two women
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A report from The Spokesman-Review unveiled the releases - showing how from 2021 to September 2023, judges in Spokane, Washington, have released 665 people accused of violent crimes.

Offenses ranged from rape, molesting children, making death threats, assaults, and vehicular homicide, the report revealed - but like ex-Spokane officer Nathan Nash, 39, all thought to be responsible were released as they awaited trial.

Others arrested for more serious offenses, like first-degree murder, were also able to walk out of one of the city's only two county jails unhindered - including 43-year-old Jordan Knippling, who prosecutors say killed a 53-year-old man at a homeless camp.

Several who spoke to the Review, including the county sheriff and city's spread-thin police chief, called the data concerning - with County Commissioner Al French telling the paper the releases do not stem from overcrowding.

In the meantime, judges like Spokane County Superior's Julie McKay continue to cast down such judgments - with McKay, the court's current presiding judge, offering an explanation to the paper.

She said Sunday of he releases: 'The presumption when they hit jail is that they are going to go right back out.

'That's where we start from, because that's what the law says,' she insisted.
