7-time felon Alphanso Talley, charged in CPD Ofc. John Bartholomew murder, was on monitoring, missed court for carjacking, robbery
A judge issued an arrest warrant, which was still pending whenand wounded his partner at Swedish Hospital Saturday after being arrested for an armed robbery hours earlier.
"The question is no longer if reform is needed, it's how many more tragedies need to happen before action has taken place," said State Rep. Tony McCombie, House Republican Leader.
"With just four weeks left in session, the time for conversation is over. The time for action is now.
"Swedish Hospital shooting: Indiana woman detained in connection with shooting of CPD officers Republicans have now filed bills in the Illinois House and Senate that would automatically revoke the pre-trial release of anyone who, while on electronic monitoring, commits a felony. "This is saying that if you get a get out of free jail card, and you get a second chance, and you mess that up by committing a another felony while on release, you don't get any more chances," said State Sen.
John Curran, Senate Republican Leader. Supporters of pre-trial release note that 94% of those who are released pending trial never commit another crime. They say public policy should not be dictated by individual incidents.
"We shouldn't be trying to just score political, cheap political points based on a tragedy such as this," said Ed Yohnka with ACLU of Illinois. "Public safety is a complicated issue. ""Letting violent offenders out over and over again to commit more violent crimes isn't creating less prisoners, it's creating more victims and more chaos," Sen. Curran said.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said he has not seen the Republican proposals, but in the hospital shooting, he put the blame not on the SAFE-T Act, but on Judge John Lyke, who put Talley on electronic monitoring.
"Well, what played a role here was that the judge who had the ability to keep the person in jail, didn't," Pritzker said.
