Kelly McCarthy may be the only adult in America who thinks it’s legal for some airline passengers to bring firearms onto planes in their carry-on bags. So, it only makes sense that Kelly McCarthy is a Cook County judge.

McCarthy released Aguilar on his own recognizance.

If her name sounds familiar, it’s because we wrote about McCarthy’s stunning debut as a felony bond court judge in November. During her first session, McCarthy set bail for 27 defendants. She gave 22 recognizance bonds — including two charged with felony robbery. She refused to grant prosecutors’ requests to have several defendants held without bail, including one charged with attempted murder for allegedly beating, stomping, and choking his pregnant girlfriend for 20 minutes.

In one case, even though nobody asked for it, McCarthy took the unprecedented step of ordering a robbery victim to show up in court to be served with an order to protect the man who allegedly robbed her at gunpoint.
