Judges Don't Follow the Rules?
Gee whiz Batman, who would have guessed this happens in Cook County?
- Cook County judges routinely make bail decisions for crime suspects contrary to what the judges’ new risk-assessment system calls for, according to a review of more than 1,500 cases this year obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
A review by the Cook County sheriff’s office showed judges’ bail decisions differed from the guidelines about 85 percent of the time. The review tracked cases in 30 weekday sessions — between Feb. 10 and March 29 — in Central Bond Court at the main Leighton Criminal Courthouse at 26th and California.
The sheriff’s study found bail decisions were “inconsistent,” even when defendants’ backgrounds and the charges they faced were factored in.
The 90-page study, the results of which Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans disputes, also found that the amount and conditions of bail varied widely depending on which judge was presiding on a given day.
Toni is insisting there are too many black and brown defendants in the jail, Dart is releasing them as fast as he can process them out (and demoralizing his workforce), and judges are fucking up bail requirements 85% of the time. And Evans "disputes" the study? How about he has the judges follow the bail recommendations for say...the rest of summer? And we'll see if crime drops significantly as the "risk factors" dictate certain assholes stay in jail until trial.

Stop presenting facts... Cook County democrats don't like the truth.
Well, strangely enough, Evans HAS ordered them to comply. I found that when I was researching - surprise - Judge Luckman. And Luckman was one of the 'problem judges'.
Btw, if you google Luckman, you'll find all KINDS of unbelievable findings of 'lack of probable cause'. Including several of the recent high-profile cases.
He's either senile, or being unduly influenced in some way. He's got a LITANY of outrageous findings.
All across this nation, judges always have and still do wield great individual and autonomous power. They are a law unto themselves and within very broad limits can do pretty much what they want too and can run their courts however they want to. It is part of the freedom and liberty judges are allowed by the system.
No way Preckwincle nor Dart will agree to actually follow the law regarding bail or sentences on certain people or folks from our city or how else can one of these asshats challenge for mayor unless they continue to pander to the community, oh yeah and throw ur good hard working officers under the bus as well, they gotta show they hate police just as much as the community as well
I hate to say it but could you believe that white suspects get a lesser bond?? And how many suspects can post bond?? I'm guessing a $20,000 bond is good enough to keep'em locked up.
Luckman is not assigned to bond court stupid.
There are no bad boys in Cook County.
Only victims of institutional racism and white privilege.
The point of the article was that bonds are being set too high, not too low.

No I don't. That's b.s. It said it all When Loretta Lynch threatens to withhold federal funds because too many "people of color" are getting locked up.
Nothing will change.
Did you read the whole story? Most of the differences are Judges imposing GREATER bond requirements than called for my the assessment. In other words, they are keeping more people in jail and Toni and Dart don't like that.
I have often heard that there is a racial disparity in setting bond, but have not seen any independent blind studies to back that up, just assumptions. If this is true then it is wrong and should be stopped. But, frankly, I just do not believe it. I have a relative who was arrested for burglary and got a 50 grand bond which caused him to sit in CCJ. No way his family could come up with 5 grand. I am in favor of bringing back the bond companies when they had the authority to go after the bond jumpers.
An ASA said to me, protect yourself and family and stop arresting people.
I'm sick of all this shit.....I'm ready to retire and will be fetal as hell until I'm there so fuck you T-dub in 002 with your micro managing radio hogging ass and nutty trying to make a name for yourself lt. alderdeen and your dumb stupid no pc missions. keep stopping mopes and doing those stupid ass missions w/o utilizing isr's or tss cards. WTF this is why where we are with the feeb's today dumb ass.
Political jackoff's!

Marv Luckman is the flaming liberal, drunk and senile cousin of Bears great QB, Sid Luckman. Pols who wanted to rub shoulders with Sid, got Marv the appointment. It's time he spend his entire day at the Viagra Triangle.
Does anyone know whether an electronic version of the Sheriff's report is available?
