You can also file this under "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics." But then Math is Hard, especially if you're a lawyer. Or so it seems. More on that in a post for tomorrow.
Matthew Saniie, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s chief data officer, says that everything is fine. Things were bad last year, but they are better this year. And...
Saniie covered well-worn ground as he laid out statistics that he said show Kim Foxx is not soft on crime and bail bond reform doesn’t contribute to increasing violence.
That post for tomorrow will take a look at one of the key statistics around bail reform.
As far as things being better this year, not so much.
Chicago has recorded 72 homicides this month as of sunrise on July 21. If that pace continues, July 2021 will replace July 2020 as the worst July in the past 61 years.
