Society/Culture Who are Darrell E Brooks and Cedric Cornwall?

[Osho]

We all know the former by now, the latter apparently is the court officer who set the bail conditions. There is very little on more wellknown MSM sites regarding Cornwall, and what is out is subject to confirmation.

Suspect released from jail on low bail 5 days before parade tragedy

Records show bail connected to case where woman was run over with vehicle. The District Attorney is now conducting an internal review of bail recommendations.

If in doubt, it's a * up.

Why are you focusing on the people, when the reason (from your own article) is clearly stated to be:

...the pair were possibly struggling with the county's backlog of cases.

'We are now facing, in Milwaukee County, a backlog to the tune of two years when it comes to trials,' Mary E. Triggiano, chief judge of the state's First Judicial District, told the New York Times.

'The whole ecosystem is interconnected, so everything — the courts, jails, bail — is affected by the crisis. We are struggling with this every single day.'

It sounds ripe for a vicious cycle:

Over-policed population causes court backlog.

Legal practice of assumption of bail.

Courts look at backlog and decide they can’t keep people in crowded jails for years without trial.

Bail granted on lower conditions.

Crime! Courts are going easy on criminals! Revolving door justice system!

Court backlog grows as law enforcement is “toughened” leading to even more over-policing.

Repeat.

More details on the lowball bail.

"The assigned prosecutor, whom Chisholm did not name but is listed in court records as Michelle Grasso, looked at Brooks' most recently posted bail — $500 — and doubled it, Chisholm said. She did not have access to the risk assessment when she made that decision because it had not yet been uploaded to the case management system, he added."

'A mistake:' Chisholm, chief judge explain low bail given to Waukesha parade suspect in earlier case

The $1,000 bail recommendation was not consistent with the district attorney's office’s approach involving violent crime, the office said.
