BC fordert den neuen Bundesjustizminister für härtere Kautiongesetze auf

>Sharma said: “I completely understand the concerns expressed by people about the accused being released so quickly.”

>But she said judges make those decisions independently “based on the law, the facts presented in court and the individual circumstances of each case,” and politicians can’t interfere without undermining the integrity of the justice system.

>“That said, it is clear federal bail laws aren’t doing enough to keep violent offenders off the street,” she said.

Very strange double-talk. „We have to trust the judges, but we don’t trust the judges.“

I think I probably trust them more than grandstanding politicians. Why aren’t they blaming their own prosecutor for failing to persuade the judge to keep this person locked up? Oh right, because then that would be *their* fault for running such an understaffed service.
