Te risk tool worked, but it wasn’t followed. Brooks should have had high cash bail, but that doesn’t mean that another person charged with (and presumed innocent of) a serious offense can’t be safely released if other risk factors are not present.
There’s a lot of inappropriately low bail offered in the revolving door Milwaukee County criminal justice system that John Chisholm has helped create. You don’t have to look too long to find the evidence.
For many in the Wampanoag tribe, the first Thanksgiving is a day of mourning. They mourn that day because it served as the beginning of colonization for their land and of their people.
