A court that would let a murderer out on bail? Or some Mom and Pop operation that took the ankle monitor off?
Footloose and Fancy Free
Or the court for not footing the bill.
Genuinely stupid. Let a murder suspect out on bail knowing he was to be responsible to charge the battery of his monitoring device as well responsible to pay the monitoring fee.
The judge had to have been a Democrat.
If a court or agency required a monitor they should pay for it. Ostensibly, the reason for the monitor is to save the court or law enforcement agency the cost of room and board or because they don’t have room available. There is a Darwin Award possibility here.
So many layers of stupid to this story that I can’t quite comprehend it.
Dangerous idiots.
If the guy didn’t pay the fee, they should have reported it to the police, who would have made some arrangements, not take off monitoring of a dangerous murderer.
Put them out of business.
Bad decision....
.... unlimited liability on the horizon
“...accused of fatally shooting a man during a November 2016 robbery gone awry.”
Fine.... you lost the contract to provide those services anymore. Congrats...
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said the company sent
“a representative to physically remove his ankle monitor” on
Sept. 19, and Walker wasn’t re-arrested until Oct. 2, according
to jail records, which meant he was not monitored for a nearly
two-week period.
This is a case where the Chief Operating Officer or President of the company gets to a war a monitor for a year after spending six months in the pokie for criminal negligence.
According to our constitution, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and everyone has a right to bail. What should have happened is that when the ankle bracelet was removed, there should have been police officers or bail bondsman there to take the accused into custody until the judge made a decision on what to do next.
The company should be charged with aiding in the escape of a convicted felon.
