Scott Fitzgerald Demands Protections For Cash Bail: ‘Recidivism Rates Increase’

Published | Video Starts at 00:39

On November 16, 2021, Mr. Brooks was released from the custody of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's office on a $1,000 bond. Five days later, on November 21, 2021, Darrell Brooks drove his SUV through the annual Waukesha Christmas Parade, injuring over 50 individuals and killing six, including an eight-year-old child. I wish that cases like these were rare, but unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, we're seeing them all too frequently. That's because liberal cities and rogue state prosecutors are seeking to limit or altogether abolish the use of cash bail. (00:39–00:54)
