Nearly 100 charged with murder free to walk Chicago streets thanks to woke bail reform: Judge REFUSES to jail violent crime suspects despite pleas from cops, Mayor
2022-01-12
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • 90 people charged with murder are on bail with in Cook County, Chicago

  • 852 people charged with aggravated gun possession are also free

  • They were granted bail with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet thanks to sweeping 2017 reforms by Judge Timothy Evans

  • Since then, crime in Chicago has sky-rocketed and now 75 percent of people on electronic monitoring are violent criminals

  • Chicago PD last year arrested 133 people for violent crimes while they were on electronic monitoring

  • Evans says that only three percent of suspects reoffend while on bail, which he thinks justifies the reform despite it still amounting to dozens of crimes

#1  Judge Evans is an old hack. A crony of all the 80s and 90s Mayors, in particular Harold Washington. He was an alderman in the 70s and tried a few times to be mayor. He was eventually elected judge in the early 90s.
