Advocates and opponents of Pretrial Fairness Act in Illinois spar in local town hall – State Journal-Register (Springfield)

Sangamon County state's attorney Dan Wright said there is an argument for ending cash bail, but had concerns as to how the bill as written limits what judges are allowed and not allowed to do in regard to danger assessment. "I think we can eliminate that (cash bail) and still ensure public safety, but the way to do that is not by depriving judges of their discretion to assess danger to the community."
