Cook County’s top judge rejects Mayor Lightfoot’s request for more people to be jailed awaiting trial – WBEZ (Chicago)

“There is no evidence that individuals released from pretrial detention are driving this wave of violence,” Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans’ office said in a Tuesday statement that described his letter to Lightfoot. “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, [the violence] has struck both cities like Chicago that have undergone bail reform and cities that have not.”

If the courts keep moving so far left Lori will be indistinguishable from a republican.

Junk Science in the Courtroom.

They just don’t care- their ideology is what’s most important.

Affirmative Action strikes again. Give Evans a shoe shine box and tell him to go make an honest living at something he might be qualified to do.

Don’t confuse a politician with facts – it unnerves them and they start spouting more platitudes: racism! misogyny! sexism!
