Tennessee teenagers charged with shooting 15-year-old in the head are released without bond after Democrat DA overhauled the bail system in Memphis

Two Tennessee teenagers have been released without bond after being charged with shooting a 15-year-old in the head due to the county's new 'progressive' bail system.

Edio White, 18 and Conner Tucker, 15, were driving to 15-year-old Anthony Mason's home in Memphis on Thanksgiving Day.

The pair attempted to use a staged firearm deal to rob Mason, who was seen leaving his house that morning and engaging with two people inside a vehicle.

According to police, when the deal went south, the teenagers began to struggle over the gun, with Tucker pointing a gun outside the car and shooting Mason in the head.

Mason immediately collapsed as Tucker and White, acting as getaway drive, drove off.

The two have since been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted especially aggravated robbery and unlawful possession of a weapon.

White was released on his own recognizance, which has sparked outrage.

According to Fox 13, both White's attorney and the DA's office still recommended a $75,000 bond but Judge Bill Anderson recommended White be released on his own recognizance.

Shelby County District Attorney's Office said in a statement that 'the judge made the ROR (released on recognizance) decision.'

Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Republican, lashed out at the decision on X.

'After fatally shooting a 15-year-old in the head, the Memphis man responsible for his death has been released from custody,' she wrote. 'He wasn't even required to pay bond.'

Criminals belong behind bars. NOT out on the streets.

Anderson - who supervises the judicial commissioners who set bail - has staunchly defended the new system in the past.

'Everybody has the right to bail,' he told Action News 5 in August. 'You cannot lock people up and throw away the key, you just can't.'

blacks commit violent crime 500% more often than whites.

Stands to reason they’re imprisoned more often.

My recollection was wrong. It’s 800 percent higher:

“The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States

I stand corrected.

The time is overdue for America to start deporting all lawyers and “judges”. They are the greatest danger to American “democracy”.

And our Gov does nothing. Bill Lee is useless.

Even Biden’s DOJ is stepping in it’s so bad.

Calling here from the last bastion of civilization left in Memphis: East Memphis, an easy walk from Fred Smith’s house (founder of FedEx).

There are still wealthy people here but it’s getting worse by the day.

This 15 year old was killed not far from where I grew up.

Memphis was a happy place 50 years ago.

It’s held on better than many cities but we’re definitely circling the toilet bowl now.

Literally everyone here knew that from the very first sentence.

Only judges and lawyers in liberal cities? We have both Houses
of Congress filled by many puke lawyers and some federal judges. We need prior military and successful business types in DC plus others who put America ahead of financial gain.

I suspect that they are dangerous enough to be held with no right to bail, if that’s allowed in Tennessee. Anyone know whether Tennessee law allows this?
