Not at all. If you read the article, you’ll see they found an increase in rearrests for those released on violent felony charges- aka the ones people care about.

Okay? That does absolutely nothing to counter my point lmao. It just demonstrates that you have no formal education in law nor a real understanding of how the reforms operate.
Even if release isn’t mandatory, bail is highly disfavored outside of homicide cases and certain DV/sex crimes cases. CJA is reluctant to recommend bail. I am an attorney working for the government and have seen it first hand.
Rearrests of those ROR’d or SVR’d violent felony offenders went up. That’s what this article and study shows. Therefore, it was not “racist fearmongering.”
