At least 60 felons charged with violent crimes while out on bond in Chicago in 2021 Roughly five dozen felons in Chicago who had been released on bond were rearrested in 2021 on charges related to violent crimes. At least 60 felons were arrested and charged with violent crimes while out on bond awaiting their trials, according to reports. They stand accused of murder, attempted murder, and several shootings. The felons allegedly targeted about 92 people in Chicago as they roamed free on bail. The most recent felon identified is 22-year-old Malik Perteet, who was in bond court last week. He was arrested Wednesday after he reportedly shot a 17-year-old girl, authorities said. ____________________________ Time for the pendulum to swing back with higher bond amounts or no bond.

I chose my own words carefully. If there’s enough evidence to be held or go to trial and the defendant has a history of violence. They can sit there. Innocently.
