New state’s attorney vows to seek pre-trial detention for all violent crimes. How different is that policy from Kim Foxx’s? – CWB Chicago

"...(T)he majority of sexual assault cases filed in the city involve child victims. You’ll probably be even more surprised to learn that, in our random sampling, prosecutors only sought detention in 83 percent of cases where the victims were under 13. And judges only granted 42 percent of those requests. Why? Based on our experience observing thousands of bond and detention hearings, these kinds of cases are typically not random attacks involving strangers."
