Doesn’t mean cities like Chicago are going to stop doing it
The people in charge of the Criminal Justice System in Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, still maintain that their bail reforms haven’t caused any problems, or that they have seen no bad situations. They even passed a law in the State of Illinois to impose their progressive views on all jurisdictions. The actual situation is a bit more complicated. (This list of crimes is just from the weekend, basically.)
CWB Chicago is keeping track of the really bad results, which are murder, attempted murder and just shooting someone (assault with a deadly weapon?) while on bail for a felony. #41: Felon engaged in ‘gunfight at the OK Corral’ while on electronic monitoring, officials say
A convicted felon engaged in “a gunfight at the OK Corral” on a bustling Chicago street while he was on electronic monitoring for a felony case, authorities said Wednesday.
Kevin Cousins, 21, is the 41st person accused of killing or shooting—or attempting to kill or shoot—someone in Chicago while awaiting trial for a felony this year. The alleged crimes involved at least 78 victims, 18 of whom died.
