The Failure of No Bail Laws

Whether you believe DeCarlo Brown Jr is an illegal immigrant or not really is not an issue. He is the individual accused, via onboard video recordings, of stabbing twenty-three year old Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutzka to death last August.

According to a motion filed April 7, Brown was evaluated December 29 at Central Regional Hospital, and the subsequent report determined he was not competent to stand trial, according to WBTV. His attorney has asked the court to delay his competency hearing by 180 days.

He allegedly atabbed his victim on a Charlotte light rail train and has been found “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges. Brown has been in federal custody in Chicago since a grand jury indicted him on October 22 for violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system causing death, which is a federal crime.

Brown has been arrested fourteen times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery dating back to 2007.

At the time of the senseless attack in late August, he was free on the failed liberal "cashless bail" law after a magistrate released him with a “written promise” to show up for court after placing a bogus 911 call.

"No bail" or "cashless bail" laws (also known as pretrial reform) replace money-based release with risk-based assessments, aiming to prevent detention based solely on poverty. These laws, enacted in places like Illinois, California; Maryland and New York, and many other blue states, aim to reduce jail populations by releasing defendants for many, but not all, crimes, focusing on public safety and flight risk rather than wealth.

And of course, bleeding heart liberal judges have been too lenient, taking wide latitude and interpretation, as they give repeat offenders a free pass to commit crimes again, while not holding them accountable. Expecting the criminal to return to court voluntarily on the assigned court date.

This case highlights the failure of  a liberal, compassionate conception which, instead, has proven to be a hallucinating delusion. One is daydreaming if he or she thinks a repeat offender would follow a warped reality.

Cashless and No-Bail laws have been tried and have been proven to be failures in order to create an "enlightened" society which sees good in people, while overlooking victims' rights. 

The better option would make the criminal justice system more efficient by expediting the entire process by giving justice and fairness for all concerned, by actually following the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution which guarantees a speedy trial.

It is time to recognize that another altruistic ideal by America's left belongs in the trash heap of unsuccessful and inauspicious liberal fantasies.
