CWB is keeping a running total of victims in Chicago. #15: Man murdered childhood friend while awaiting trial on federal gun charges, prosecutors say | CWB Chicago
A man who allegedly murdered his friend during an argument last week is the 15th person accused of shooting, killing, or trying to kill someone in Chicago this year while out of jail on another pending felony case.
With friends like this...
He was out on bail from the federal court. Because they don't believe in keeping offenders in jail either.
Illinois lawmakers who backed recently passed legislation that will eliminate cash bail in the state in 2023 often pointed to the federal pretrial release program as a successful model they wanted to build on.
I'm not sure I would call it a success, exactly.
