Appearing in a video forum hosted by the Illinois Justice Project, Foxx delivered broad-based criticism of the public, law enforcement, some prosecutors and even judges for failing to understand that pretrial is not “pre-punishment” or that “the presumption of innocence maintains with the accused until there’s a finding of guilt.”
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
I didn’t bother reading the article. No cash bail? Does this mean everybody goes to the joint until trial? I’m OK with that!
