Cook County Chief Judge Pushes Back on Criticisms of Electronic Monitoring – NBC5 (Chicago)

“Of course, as desirable as it might be in this crime crisis that we face to keep dangerous individuals behind bars, we still have to do so by providing those accused of committing these horrendous crimes the due process of law,” Tim Evans said, adding, “One’s liberty in our system of government is precious...Our system does not permit the accuser to be the judge."
