CWB Chicago is still counting problems with bail reform from 2021, because those problems are still coming to light. #76: Man who fired shots, then killed a woman in North Center car crash was on felony bail, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
The Judge responsible for this mess in Cook County/Chicago said that his bail reforms hadn't caused any "bad outcomes." Would we consider murder to be a bad outcome?
Early on October 3, 2021, a Toyota Camry rolled to a stop at the red light at Damen and Irving Park. Its driver fired several shots at a car that was two lanes over, then sped away, only to run a red light a half-mile down the road and collide with an SUV, killing a woman inside. The driver ran away.
On Wednesday prosecutors charged Ollonzo Wilson, 38, with being the person responsible for the shooting and the car crash. He was on bail for a felony drug charge, and he had skipped his court date. He also had other drug convictions.
Wilson is the 76th person accused of killing or trying to kill someone in Chicago during 2021 while on felony bail. The cases involve at least 113 victims, 32 of whom died.
So do we call a shooting and a dead bystander a bad outcome, or do we agree with the Social Justice Warriors in Chicago who maintain that keeping criminals in jail is unfair?
