One good night and they can make back their bail.
Car break-ins are on the rise here outside of Columbia.
One of my higher ups lives a few,hundred yards away on another street. Nice neighborhood with plenty of people and cameras.
Her wheels got ransacked, the mister’s ride was stolen and recovered wrecked a few days later.
Aptly-named judge ….
Judge Nicole Botchway lives up to her name!
That decision to reduce bail was seriously botched.

Wow. Two guys, three counts of (essentially) vandalism.
100 cars broken into. I’m going to guess $200 per window. That’s $20k of damage so far.
Let’s ignore any guns and drugs that they collected in those cars and focus on stereos and random phones. I’ll lowball that at $200 per car. Another $20k.
Cost to owners? At least 40k. Probably over 100k.
Court? 5k, a free lawyer, and if you go to jail you’ll walk inside of thirty days.
Profit? Looks like 20k to me. Or 80-ish.
Punishment? None. Priceless.
I’m confident that these gentlemen have been inside before and their cost/risk analysis is pretty positive for them.
Crikey! I should have been a super-villain! Nah. I don’t want to be a democrat.

At first the bail didn’t sound that far off until I remembered the huge number of crimes. Obviously a professional criminal operation.
I noticed that Allison Mack was released on $5,000,000.00 bond. That actually sounds too high to me.
In California you can steal anything worth less then $1,000 or so and not end up in court. Plus the democrats released 40,000 and counting crooks out of jail.

Hyphenated names are always a sure sign of mental defectives.
