Very anecdotally, I saw a man stab his wife in the street in broad daylight in Midtown East. I and others chased him until the police arrived and arrested him. He was released the same day and arrested for petty theft the day afterwards. Unsure if he was released again at that point, but his trial was like 2.5 years later. He was on his 3rd strike (shocker) so ended up pleaing to about 4-5 years.

Probably wasn’t released specifically under the bail reform law. Lots of people are released and some scream about bail reform and others scream how that wasn’t bail reform.

We need more bail reform, making it easier for some to get out and harder for others to get reduced charges etc.
