Accused felons. That's the key - they're innocent until proven guilty.

Of course. And in blue cities, increasingly they're not held for trial. So they go out and reoffend.

SEATTLE ' A bartender in Seattle is outraged that the man accused of slashing her in the face was let out of jail by a judge on the promise he'll show up for his next court date.

Surveillance video captured the brutality of that attack and Felicite Ogilvy questions her safety knowing the man arrested is back on the streets.


There have been cases in CA like this also. In WA it's a state sport:

A Seattle man charged with murder related to a mass shooting in 2020 was released to home detention at his grandmother's house ahead of his trial.

William Tolliver, 27, was charged with first-degree murder and six counts of first-degree assault, as well as unlawful possession of a firearm, in relation to the January 2020 shooting.


Eventually he was sentenced

Tolliver was sentenced to 48 months for second-degree manslaughter and 16 months for third-degree assault and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. He will serve his term concurrently. Tolliver must also serve 18 months in community custody.

A judge also imposed a $500 victim penalty assessment and restitution that will be determined at a later time. Tolliver must also register as a firearm offender.


There's some hard core punishment, there.
"Mr. Tolliver was initially charged with murder," the King County Prosecutor's Office wrote in a statement. "In any case, there is never a guarantee of what will happen at a trial. This guilty plea considers the evidence and provides some measure of accountability."

Plea down murder to Manslaughter 2 and get a little over 5 years. Yay, King County Prosecutor.

Here's a good one:

Just days after being released from jail, a serial criminal violently beat a man to death with a metal bar in Seattle in broad daylight. The killing took place on the sidewalk of a busy street.

I could go on, but you get the idea.
