Murderer of Houston Police officer released on bond.

The piece on the 10:00 p.m. news said he had a total of four warrants he had to make bail for: two $100K bails each for separate charges of aggravated assault; one $50K for drug possession; and the $500K bail for murdering the police officer.

Idea: Why don't we defund liberal judges so hardened criminals with multiple convictions and who just murdered a law enforcement officer can't get out on bond by finding an agent who'll fork over a measly $75K, one 10th of his total bail. That this scum is back on the street should make us both fearful and mad as heck.

Reminds me of that case years ago where the Houston courts let a rapist who was charged with 3 rapes (DNA evidence and all) go on bail... he subsequently raped 3 more women... they didn't deny him bail on those... but raised it to a more realistic amount.

Elsewhere, protesters with no criminal record are being held without bail

There are clearly 2-tiers of "justice"

As I've said before. Houston wants to be the Chicago of Texas.

Wild chase ending in a multiple car wreck in Houston to catch a murder fugitive out on PR bond from a judge in Chambliss County (says South of Austin).

Cut off ankle monitor. Stabbing murder from 2017. Asked for a reduced bond after 2 years in jail. Judge said PR bond with ankle monitor.

Why can’t we have trials sooner?

Just to clarify, the suspect was named Chambliss and he county he was released from is Hays, which is the San Marcos area, south of Austin.

this is just a correction in case someone else is interested, not picking on you, Philip964. I make those kind of mistakes when I type a comment too fast also.

A judge released an armed robber on PR that robbed 5 pharmacies in my city, Pasadena. He was caught red handed by one of our patrol officers who followed him in his patrol car as the actor fled on foot. He was turning to shoot when the officer ran him down. He had already shot at a father and his son when they were behind him attempting to get his license plate number in a precious robbery. When he committed the robberies he was on a PR for possessing a firearm. The judge just continued his PR instead of a new bond. Our Chief at the time and the PD were livid as you can well expect.

I would have been just as livid.

There should be somebody with the power to overrule this type of judge! The ability to not only reject the PR bond but also dock the judge for this incredibly stupid decision

I agree, but judges have tremendous power and with it the ability to make dangerous decisions with impunity. In Harris County every incumbent Republican judge lost their seats and were replaced by liberal, progressive, high-minded idiots. The DA, Kim Ogg is also a criminal friendly imbecile. Harris county crime rates are through the roof as any one with a smidgen of common sense would have anticipated.
