Prior to 2019, most criminal district court judges would revoke a defendant's bond if they got charged with another felony crime.
"In the 34 years I've been doing this, I have never seen a period of time that this many people were committing this many crimes while out on bond," said FOX26 Senior Legal Analyst Chris Tritico. "It's an odd time for us and that's why people are scared and that's why people are angry."So how did we get here? It's more than just criminal District Court Judges freeing violent offenders from jail by granting them multiple felony bonds.
"Our jail in Harris County is completely overcrowded and it has been for a great number of years," Tritico said.Some say judges should hold court at night and on the weekends to clear the backlog. But overworked judges, cops, and prosecutors could mean more overturned cases.
