Althea told me...
Non violent offenders should be able to go free until trial.There were several reasons why the State passed the stupid no-bail laws.
One of them is not enough jail cells, courtrooms, and judges to handle the backlog.
And for the reasons you mentioned as well!
Dallas County had to let hundreds of people in jail get out without bail here recently for the lack of Jail cells to hold them.
This is a problem across the entire country.
Most of which were in jail for over 6 months already and still couldn't make bail- with trials scheduled 6 months or longer down the road!
Stalling these trials is a lawyer trick- like Trump uses to his advantage- and it never benefits the victims- ONLY THE CRIMINALS!
These laws must change and there must be speedier trials to resolve these problems!
No violent offense should be ignored, and should entail prohibitive bail depending on the level of violence. A drunken bar room brawl is not the same as an ex husband stalking his family.
We do indeed have a big problem in this nation, and a lot of it is being encouraged for political gain.
