It certainly isn't fair to the victims. #52: Man who shot driver in South Loop on Saturday was AWOL from a pending felony case, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
An eight-time convicted felon opened fire on a busy South Loop street corner Saturday evening, striking a man who was waiting for a traffic light to change near the Roosevelt CTA station, prosecutors said. The accused man, 36-year-old Christople Davis, was AWOL on a pending felony case at the time of the shooting.
Davis is the 52nd person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony.
The powers that be, in what passes for Chicago's Criminal Justice System‡, still maintain that their lenient bail system does NOT contribute to crime by way of recidivism. That number (52) doesn't include the people where the charges were dropped, and they went back out to commit more crime. It doesn't include case where they didn't try to shoot or kill someone, but still committed a different crime.
‡ That list of people is headed by Crimesha, otherwise known as Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, and her band of non-prosecuting attorneys. There are a few judges on that list, and I'm sure I could see how Mayor Groot (Lori Lightfoot) and others contribute.
