Chicago's top cop took aim at the court system Monday for releasing violent offenders amid a wave of gun violence in the city, according to reports.
"What we can do different is challenge the courts to render Chicago safe," Brown said, according to Chicago's WBBM-TV. "Holding offenders in jail longer not releasing murderers back into our community. That’s what we can do different." Brown noted that 90 people in the city have been charged with murder and released on electronic monitoring, FOX 32 Chicago reported. In the past, Chief Judge Timothy Evans said those cases either involved first-time offenders or were in self-defense.More Related News
