Johnny Jennings, the police chief of Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday criticized an unnamed judge's decision to reduce a repeat violent offender's bond from $2 million to $50,000.

Octavis Wilson, 29, is facing charges of first-degree kidnapping, second-degree forcible rape, assault on a female, sexual battery, assault with a deadly weapon and other charges.

We were pleased and appreciative of the original decision by the Mecklenburg County Magistrate’s Office to issue a $2 million bond for Octavis Wilson, a violent repeat offender. However, a judge decided just days later to lower this individual’s bond to a mere $50k," Jennings said

Wilson is most recently accused of striking up a conversation with a woman who was walking in northwest Charlotte before "brutally" attacking and sexually assaulting her, police announced on Nov. 5.

The offender has a lengthy history of prior charges. Most recently, he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and attempted first-degree forcible rape on Sept. 16. He was released less than a month later on Oct. 5

In April, Wilson was charged with assault to inflict serious injury and released in June. Last year, authorities charged the 29-year-old with attempted first-degree forcible rape and assault with a deadly weapon for a Sept. 13, 2021, incident before he was released on Sept. 30, 2021.

Prior to that, authorities charged Wilson with assault on a female, communicating threats and larceny for a Feb. 9, 2021, incident before releasing him on Feb. 22, 2021.

When these guys get out free and commit another crime the judge should be arrested for aiding and abetting

Furthermore, if the perp murders anyone the judge should be executed.

I’d go for that. It might make them be a little more careful about their generosity.

Where I live every time we get a new police chief, sheriff, or DA they immediately criticize judges for letting criminals out with bail too low or lenient sentences. They all do this once. Then I believe they are figuratively taken out back and get the crap beat out of them and you never hear them say it again.
