How Is That Bail Reform Working Out?

Not too great if you go by the count of the victims. #29: Three-time felon shot robbery victim while on bail for felony gun case, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago

Prosecutors say a three-time convicted felon robbed and shot a man while on bail for a pending Class X armed habitual criminal case in Chicago. Prez Bailey is the 29th person accused of killing or shooting — or attempting to kill or shoot — someone in Chicago while on bail for a felony this year. The alleged crimes involved at least 63 victims, 13 of whom died.

The logic of how a 3-time-convicted felon was given a $1000 bail deposit on the Class X felony gun charge (before the most recent shooting) escapes me.

He was ordered held without bail on the current shooting, but I expect that will change, because keeping violent felons in jail is unfair. At least according to the people in charge of Chicago's Criminal Justice System (so called) are concerned.
