If you think that headline is wrong, just read the report.
...[There is] a pattern of defendants – even felons who have shot at people
or are drug dealers – [who bail out quickly on a few thousand dollars
(median bail in gun court: $5,000), commit new crimes as their cases
languish for months (sometimes very serious ones), defy pretrial
supervision rules with little more than a judicial scolding (sometimes
repeatedly), and often escape lengthy sentences at the end, with about
40 percent avoiding prison time now (not counting stayed terms)....UW-M student study summary quoted at Right Wisconsin.
The students examined 550 cases over a 9-month period.
Yes, indeed. Milwaukee judges cause crime. In fact, one could say that they are co-conspirators. Now you know why the cops and firemen want to get the Hell out of that town.
