One judge set an unheard of dollar amount for a habitual offender, $1.
FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace has more in this edition of Breaking Bond."You've got eight prior felony convictions, two of them for robbery," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.According to court documents, the DA's Office wanted Taylor jailed with no bond or a high bond, because he's accused of holding the victim in his car for several days and repeatedly choking her and beating her.232nd Criminal District Court Judge Josh Hill made Friday the 13th a lucky day for Taylor.
According to court documents, Judge Josh Hill was making his feelings known about Senate Bill 6, which eliminates PR or personal recognizance bonds for violent offenses. "It's like, I wish I could give you a PR bond, I can't, so I'll make it a dollar," Detoto said. "That's nonsensical to me." "If I'm outraged, I can't imagine what the victim in this case must be going through considering all she did," Kahan said.
"Someone has accused you, you're in jail, you're angry, who's the person you're thinking about? Who are you fuming over and who's the first person you want to go be angry with? It's the person who put you there, right," Detoto said. "That needs to be rethought."

Kathy Hochul and other prominent state Democrats and Latino leaders are demanding the governor’s chief judge nominee get a fair hearing on Wednesday, pushing back on claims by liberal lawmakers that Hector D. LaSalle is too conservative and his nomination should be withdrawn. Hochul, appearing Saturday at the Latino Pastoral Action Center Leadership meeting, pledged to stand by LaSalle, a veteran judge. If confirmed, he would become the first Latino to lead the seven-member high court and oversee New York’s judicial system. Some progressive activists, union officials and Democratic senators claim his judicial record is anti-abortion, anti-labor and anti-due process.
