If you want to split hairs, I am talking about would-be killers in the future sense, isn't that the point of your OP?
A BLM Bail Fund Is Freeing Heinous Criminals in Kentucky. Now, the GOP Has a Plan To Stop It. The Republicans are pushing two bills that would forbid bail funds from paying to release certain arrestees and allow judges to deny bail for particularly heinous criminals. The move comes just days after a Louisville bail fund paid $100,000 to free Quintez Brown, a prominent liberal activist who is charged with attempting to murder Jewish Democratic mayoral hopeful Craig Greenberg in his campaign office. According to Nemes, his bill to restrict bail funds will be heard next week and should advance to the state senate "very soon." The Louisville Community Bail Fund did not return a request for comment. Kentucky is not the only state that has moved to crack down on bail charities. After a group in Indiana bailed out two accused offenders who were charged with grisly murders while out of jail, Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would limit charitable bail aid to "two thousand dollars or less for an indigent person charged with a misdemeanor."
Holcomb signs bill limiting charitable bail A bill limiting charitable bail organizations’ ability to bail out indigent Hoosiers has received the final signature of approval from Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb. Holcomb signed House Enrolled Act 1300, authored by Rep. Peggy Mayfied, R-Martinsville, on Tuesday. HEA 1300 will prevent charitable bail organizations, which can be nonprofits or business entities, from bailing out any person who is charged with a violent crime in Indiana or is charged with a felony and has a prior conviction for a crime of violence. All charitable groups that bail out more than three people in 180 days must also pay a $300 certification fee every two years under the new law, and neither a state nor political subdivision may post bail for an indigent person.
Judge prevents second release of left-wing activist charged in candidate's attempted murder A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Louisville activist Quintez Brown, sprung from jail through a BLM-supported bail fund after allegedly attempting to assassinate a Democratic mayoral candidate before he was rearrested on new federal charges last month, will not be freed again before trial. In a 16-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton summarized evidence supporting that Brown is a continued danger and flight risk, granting the government’s appeal to Magistrate Judge Colin Lindsay’s previous release order, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. He ordered Brown’s continued detention while awaiting trial. Brown is accused of attempting to murder Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg on the morning of Feb. 14, 2022, by opening fire at his campaign office while Greenberg and four staffers were inside. Beaton noted how Brown knows where the victim lives and even visited the home where Greenberg's wife and young son also reside the night before the Valentine’s Day alleged assassination attempt.
Bail group shuts down after being sued for helping release serial offender who shot waiter A California bail reform group backed by A-list celebrities has shut down after being sued for releasing a serial criminal who less than a week later tried to murder a waiter in Las Vegas. The Bail Project — whose supporters include Danny Glover, John Legend and Richard Branson — announced it discontinued its operations due to restructuring in early December, 8 NewsNow reported. Its closure comes after it posted a $3,000 bond for burglary suspect Rashawn Gaston-Anderson in December 2021. Six days later, Gaston-Anderson shot Chengyan Wang 11 times in Chinatown, 8 NewsNow reported. In a plea deal, the 24-year-old was convicted of attempted robbery and mayhem, both with deadly weapon enhancements, according to News 3 Las Vegas. Gaston-Anderson was sentenced in December to seven to 18 years behind bars for the shooting.
