Speaking of Bail....

  • An Albany Park man who’s accused of threatening his daughter with a stolen handgun was released on a recognizance bond even though the daughter showed police video footage of the crime, according to police and court records.

    [...] According to police, the daughter showed them cellphone video in which the father is seen in their garage “menacing his daughter” with the handgun, waving the weapon in the air and yelling, “you want to see who the a**hole is?” The father was seen walking toward the daughter in an aggressive manner that caused unnamed witnesses to restrain him, police said.

    The daughter said the father later pointed the gun directly at her after she stopped recording because her hands were shaking.

    [...] A defense attorney argued the father should be released without having to pay a bond because he should enjoy the benefits of the presumption of innocence.

    Judge Susan Ortiz apparently agreed as she released the father on a recognizance over the objections of prosecutors.
Stolen gun and a signature bond. Good to know.

C'mon. We have all been there: brandishing a stolen pistol at our daughter. Let the guy go home and work things out with his kid who just provided evidence against him. What could go wrong?

And here’s a prime example of why Chicago’s crime is so bad. Nothing happens. Lightfoot should be screaming about stuff like this. And so should the public.

Did she at least include no contact, as worthless as it is, as a condition of bail?

Cook County Chicago is a giant turd in the sun on a 100 degree day poisoning anything decent for its Citizens that may still exist in Illinois.

"...he should enjoy the benefits of the presumption of innocence..."

Then why, pray tell, should ANYONE have to pay a bond before being released? Oh, wait. I guess that's where we're going. You guys think that eventually offenders will just get bounced after processing and be promised a gift card to Walmart if they show up to court proceedings?

Hey Judge Evans,

What's the over/under on this fellow harming his daughter before the year is out?

The victims of the no-bail catch-and-release program you worked out with Kim Foxx have names, you know. They have rights, too.

Maybe you can get the fools who run the Tribune to print your self-glorifying nonsense, but the world knows better. Shame.

Sometimes it takes a little convincer to get rid of the freeloading adult chiltren.

Stolen-schmolen, the Cook County property crime exemption was applied.
If pops pulled a legit pistol on the deadbeat daughter would the penalty have been less severe?

Not a good move, ol’ sponging baby girl will likely find her cellphone bill unpaid come August.

He was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2014, released on parole, and stabbed a guy on the red line.

“I thought Illinois took DV cases super seriously”

I thought so too. I wonder why Kim fox, dart and Evans hate women so much? They’re all sexist, they don’t care about a woman’s well being.

The amount of priors is inversely proportional to bail set for gun crimes.
