Actions Have Consequences - Criminal Justice Edition

Inaction also has consequences. During River North gun case hearing, prosecutors face a reckoning caused by years of weak plea deals - CWB Chicago

Chicago (non) Prosecutors let this guy off the hook for gun crimes repeatedly, for years. So when they finally realized that "Hey, this guy is a menace" they weren't able to do much about it.

And while prosecutors told Willis all about the armed carjacking and Washington’s other history, the judge pointed out that prosecutors have never convicted him of committing any crime with a handgun. The armed carjacking and armed robbery counts were pleaded down.

“There are no weapons convictions,” Willis noted before denying the state’s no-bail request.

Click thru for the details on how many times - it is more than you think - that the Criminal Justice System in Cook County let this guy go with a slap on the wrist.

"The System" that is supposed to keep the people of Chicago and Cook County safe. I wouldn't trust it with my safety.
