The Criminal Justice System in Illinois is broken. South Side killer was on pretrial release for felony gun case, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
I used to ask, "How is the criminal justice reform working out?" I don't ask anymore, because it is clear that it has failed the people the system is supposed to protect.
This murder took place in 2024, but someone has now been charged.
Court records show prosecutors have now charged Shontrell Moon, 20, with Campbell’s murder.
The shooting occurred three months after Moon skipped court on a pending felony gun charge, records show.
So he's arrested on a felony gun case, and set free. (No cash bail is the thing in Illinois. Social Justice.) He ignores his court date, and (allegedly) shot 20-year-old Keyante Campbell in the head. So who is the no cash bail protecting, and from what? It didn't protect Campbell.
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 then-Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans publicly stated, “We haven’t had any horrible incidents occur” under the court’s bond reform initiative.
I think Keyante Campbell's mother would disagree with that "no horrible outcome" statement. Click thru for the stats on the horrible outcomes.
