I don't think the victims would call it a success. 16-year-old shot and robbed neighbor while on probation and pretrial release: prosecutors - CWB Chicago
He was out on probation for 1 felony, and on "pretrial release" for another. (Illinois eliminated cash bail a while back.) Wouldn't the 2nd felony constitute violation of parole? I guess not.
Now he shot is neighbor during an attempted robbery.
Tashawn Johnson is the 20th person accused of shooting, killing, or trying to shoot or kill someone in Chicago this year while on felony pretrial release. The crimes involved 33 victims, six of whom died.
But hey, keeping violent offenders in jail is Unfair!
This report continues our coverage of individuals accused of killing, shooting, or trying to kill or shoot others on pretrial release for a felony allegation. CWBChicago began our series of reports in November 2019 after Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans publicly stated, “We haven’t had any horrible incidents occur” under the court’s bond reform initiative.
On September 18, 2023, Illinois eliminated cash bail entirely. Our “not horrible” continues.
