Out on Bail, Out of State
- An Uptown man who has been awaiting trial for multiple weapons cases in the North Side neighborhood has died in rural Calaveras County, California, after he jumped from a moving SUV that had been used in the robbery of a large marijuana shipment, according to media reports.
Donter Essex, 29, was free on bond while awaiting trial in Chicago for two separate gun charges in Uptown. Now, it looks like he took his criminal show on the road while Cook County’s wheels of justice turned.
Correct us if we're wrong, but one of the conditions of bail is to not leave the state, especially in the case of a felony charge. You'd think with Class X felony charges, bail might be a tiny bit high, but no.
The California report is a marvel of understatement:
The California report is a marvel of understatement:
- The robbers sped off in the pot-filled van and several other vehicles, including a Range Rover that was driven by Essex. Minutes after the robbery was reported, a local deputy saw a caravan composed of vehicles matching those used in the robbery.
When the deputy and the California Highway Patrol tried to pull Essex over, the Chicagoan accelerated and then “exited out of the Range Rover while it was still traveling at a high rate of speed,” according to the report. Essex was pronounced dead at the scene, and robbery evidence was found next to his body.
We certainly hope there is in-car camera video of this event and it ends up in a highlight real somewhere. But how did he even make bail on these charges?
- Back home, Essex has been awaiting trial for throwing a gun onto the roof of an Uptown Dunkin’ Donuts while being chased by police. He was charged with Class X felony armed habitual criminal; felony unlawful use of a weapon by a felon; two felony counts of aggravated battery of a police officer; two felony counts of resisting police; and misdemeanor resisting arrest. A “friend” posted $10,000 for him to go free awaiting trial.

At least they get to keep the $10,000, right?
California's where he went
Where they all are really bent
He tried there, he died there, ain't that a bitch
He could have, he should have, stayed locked up, oh, what the fuck, he had no luck, oh well....
Ya gotta love it.
Addios, culero.
While bailing from his speeding vehicLe Essex could be heard yelling LEROY JENKINS!!!
The Cook County government is more messed up than anywhere else in the Country!
I just can’t wait to move!
At least we don't have the burial expense.
Or throw him into the ocean and feed him to the sharks.
Or leave him on the side of the road...Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms.
Dude is Dead. Sounds like the new Bond system is working perfectly. Everyone loves a happy ending.
well the $10,000 in narcotic proceeds that were posted by his friend belong to the county now 😂😁😬🖕🏼
If he was in jail like he should've been, he'd still be alive. Thanks for setting his bond low enough to make this all possible. Happy ending for everyone.
My, my things have gone up since the '60s.
Sorry, can't feel sorry for a Range Rover driver
in Cali. Bets on for which city gives out the
Darwin Award. The bloke would still be alive
if he followed the law and stayed in Chicago.
Karma.
Why keep all the bad peoples in jail?
What a system. Makes me so mad.
This is amusing without a doubt. It would only be better if they found a CCSP ankle monitor on his dead broken ankle in California which makes me wonder, just how far away from Cook County do those things track people and what is the farthest point point dude has been tracked. Anybody know?

He must have misunderstood the conditions and thought it was legal to leave the state to commit a felony...
Another piece of shit bites the dust!
Good result. Perfect for California.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Ay Yi Yi saved the CCSA the trouble of a court date and eventual probation. OMG so much paperwork.
a sneed translation perhaps?
they weren't going to do shit anyway.
Bets on the table, Fox will return the bond money to the guys friend......
Welcome to the Karma Cafe. There are no menus here, you will get what you deserve........
It’s a feel good story, right?
But the ambulance chasers are swirling.

Crooked Cook County, who knows, probably has a furneral fund for those bond.
It’s all about apologizing, understanding and forgiveness, understand.
The fambly will likely file suit for CC letting that boy out of jail without offering him some sort of program to enter to help him with his disabilities. So that $10 G is retainer seed money and likely your Corrupt Cook Co States Atty already provided a preferred law firm with the particulars to represent the estate.
Habituous Corpuscles - bring forth the body and let the CC Cornoner confirm the demise of the boundless urban terrorist.
And upon confirmation, purge his welfare entitlement and remove his likeness from the Chicago voter registration.
never forget what is the common denominator here in this scenario;
Sheriff Tom Dart
Circuit Court of Cook County 1st Municipal Division Chief Judge Timothy Evans and
CCSAO "Kimesha" Fox
all want to see these Df's out on bond for these gun cases because in all likely hood they are a lesser of a nuisance within the confines of the Cook County jail and Circuit Court of Cook County courtroom case load docket...
when and where each Df meets his own demise is the new funneling effect of the criminal justice system....bought to you by progressive democrats and company!!!!! BL=\M
Somehow I think Cook county will be responsible for this tragic loss of life and be sued. And pay like we always do. Actually being a p.o.s. seems to be quite lucrative these days.
Excellent pre-trial monitoring of violent felons here in Cook County.
So Donter won't be showing up for trial in Illinois?

You don't think these asswipes will give the bond money back?
Has the family started the lawsuit against the county yet? He would be alive today if they had kept him in custody!
Jumping out of a moving vehicle going 80mph only works in a BOND movie.🤔
I remember him gang banging all over uptown since he was a teen. Oh well, there's at least 10 more to take his place. No shortage of stupid in Chicago.
I don’t know Illinois law on bail (I’m in Florida), but usually bail is forfeited for a failure to appear, but being dead is the ultimate of “Unavailability”. I ve never have someone die out of state while committing another felony.
I think this is a great case for a prosecutor to try to get the bail forfeited.... even if he doesn’t ultimately win, the facts of the case will make the courts squirm, and maybe it will advance the cause a bit.
Motion to forfeit will depend on conditions of release set by the Court, including any paperwork given to defendant or the guy that posted bail.
If this was a bail bond situation, the surety is at risk for full amount, not just premium paid.... they then can go against guarantor, who typically has to show collateral for full amount.
Ultimately bail bondsman or someone has to sign to get him out, and their liability depends on wording as well.
His family should sue Dart and ASA jackass for releasing him in the first place.
If he wasn’t out on bond he would still be alive. It’s their fault!! $$
What he didn’t realize is that if he was going 70 mph,so was his body when he jumped out.SPLAT!!!!!
Maybe this oxygen thief was being recruited by ms-13

You're presuming he had to post any worthwhile cash. $1000 isn't squat.
