Yes the judge is a piece of crap but much of this can be laid at the carcass of Governor Fatass Pritzker and his Safe T act that pretty much does not allow any bail requirements for almost any felony crimes.
If only ...
Sentencing needs to be based on the entire conviction record of those convicted of new crimes. Punishment should be doubled after each felony conviction. Recidivism would plummet.
Low bail would then not be much of a problem.
