Maryland Official Releases Man with No Bail Who Returns One Hour Later to Assault Same Woman


FOXNews.com:

A Maryland man who was released from jail with no bail requirement after allegedly beating up a woman went back to the victim's home and assaulted her again, according to officials.

James Bowman III, 40, was arrested Nov. 7 in Waldorf, Maryland, for domestic-related assault after he allegedly punched a woman in the face and bit her hand, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.

A district court commissioner released Bowman from the Charles County Detention Center on his own recognizance following his arrest, meaning he didn't have to post bail.

Bowman III, 40, was arrested on November 7 for allegedly biting and punching a woman during a domestic violence incident. Somehow, he was released six hours later without bail on the condition that he not harm her again. Yet, less than an hour after his release, Bowman returned to the location and allegedly attacked the same woman while she was holding a toddler. Police say he struck the child in the forehead and beat the woman senseless and then was subsequently charged with assault and child abuse and is now being held without bail. Unbelievable. Yet, funny too that despite claims from most liberals and BLM activists that Black men are disproportionately imprisoned due to racial bias, there are also so many cases in which offenders are repeatedly released or not held accountable for multiple prior crimes, suggesting a pattern of lenient treatment rather than racial targeting. But no one wants to talk about that.

North Carolina Democrat Gov. Josh Stein Signs 'Iryna's Law' Into Law to End Cashless Bail



Yahoo.com:

Governor Josh Stein announced the signing of a crime bill the week after a mass shooting claimed three lives in Southport.

Stein signed House Bill 307 into law on Oct. 3, the governor announced in a video statement. Stein said the need for the legislation, known as Iryna's Law, is exemplified by the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte and a mass shooting in Southport.

The law contains a number of provisions around criminal justice, including changes to death penalty proceedings and procedures for defendants with previous criminal histories. It includes stricter guidelines for defendants with previous violent offenses, new procedures for defendants with suspected mental health issues and the elimination of cashless bail.

Because Democrats are horrible when it comes to handling crime, Stein waited till the last minute (two weeks) to sign the damn bill. An bvious measure that also closes loopholes that allowed violent criminals back on the streets.
