Second City Cop: Same Judge Again

Eight arrests in six months, and out because of the SAFE-T Act and a useless judge:

A 37-year-old woman has been arrested for the eighth time in six months for carrying out a string of unprovoked, random attacks on the West Side while she was AWOL from a separate battery case.
Prosecutors say Diamond Miller was in AWOL status from a pending misdemeanor battery case when she allegedly attacked three people within minutes near Pulaski Road and Cermak Road around noon on December 21.

You mean she didn't show up at court? Again? Why was she out?

Records show that Miller failed to appear in court on a pending misdemeanor battery charge on December 2. Rather than issue a warrant, Judge Peter Gonzalez ordered the court clerk to send Miller a postcard reminding her of her court dates, according to court records.

Judge Peter Gonzalez? Why does that name sound familiar?

A Cook County judge remarked that a man with a history of randomly and violently attacking strangers “seems to be expending a lot of energy getting into violent incidents allegedly” and that it “seems like we have a little anger management issue” before deciding to release the man on electronic monitoring rather than keep him in jail. Three days later, prosecutors say, that same man went on a violent spree in the Loop, punching three women in the face while he was supposed to be home on an ankle monitor.

Gonzalez acknowledged concerns about Miller’s behavior during that exchange, telling the lawyers that Miller “seems to be expending a lot of energy getting into violent incidents allegedly,” and adding, “Seems like we have a little anger management issue.”
Despite those comments, Gonzalez declined to detain Miller on the pending case.

Ah yes, the "Loop Puncher" judge, stating [in effect] that he knows this asshole is a piece of shit, doesn't follow court directives, has "issues" ....AND STILL RELEASES HIM TO ATTACK MORE PEOPLE!
