What do they have in common? They committed more crimes before their trial.
From FoxNews:
A California district attorney has found that more than 70% of criminal suspects released on $0 bail between 2020 and 2021 in his county committed new crimes.
The California Judicial Council in April 2020 implemented the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, or $0 bail, which supporters say makes the criminal justice system more fair for those who cannot afford to get released.
“When over 70% of the people released under mandated $0 bail policies go on to commit additional crime(s), including violent offenses such as robbery and murder, there is simply no rational public safety-related basis to continue such a practice post-pandemic, especially in light of the increasing violent crime rates across California,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said in a Monday statement.
Folks, this isn’t rocket science.
But it might as well be for supporters of zero cash bail here in Illinois. Those politicians have compassion for violent criminals and contempt for law-abiding gun owners.
Gee, what a surprise, right?
Why are Democrats always the soft on crime party? I think we know. They don’t want to send their voters or their voters family mrmbers to prison
