The observation that an individual, currently on probation, is arrested for a serious crime, for which he has yet to be found guilty, is released on bail a second time, begs the question – how well is our justice system working and how are police able to protect the public if this is how the system operates.

    Re: “…how are police able to protect the public…”? – When some justice of the peace releases a violent offender, the system is broken and there is nothing more that the police can do, IMO. It must be very frustrating for the police….

    It’s obvious that the justice system is not working. How does the release of this criminal enhance public safety? Perhaps if he takes an anger management course he’ll get off scot free.
