Additional responding officers chased Lopes through the neighborhood, where he allegedly discharged Chesna’s gun again, killing an elderly woman in her home. Her name has not been released pending next of kin notification.
Police reportedly shot Lopes in the leg. He is expected to survive and will be arraigned Monday on two counts of murder. It’s unclear if he will be arraigned in the hospital or in a courtroom. It’s also unclear if he has an attorney.
The arraignment should take place with the prosecutor standing on his air hose.
The article is about people who are detained pre-trial because they cannot afford bail. Pre-trial, as in they have not been convicted of a crime. The law still affords those people the presumption that they have not broken the law, until it is proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt at a fair trial that they have.
I wonder if he think Mr. Lopes should be freed without bail.
