    Unless someone is perceived to be a risk of flight or harm to others etc,
    why would they be?

    In theory.

    In life, some people's violent behavior doesn't change until
    they are confined away from the citizenry.

    ThatrCOs rolls back to the if they pose a risk be that flight or harm, and
    past behaviour is one such example that might persuade a judge that itrCOs prudent to do so, ie hold them.

    It would be fairly surprising certainly in the uk for someone to be be held even for what appears to be a fairly callus case, as it doesnrCOt appear to
    be intentional though clearly the risk of something bad happening was high.

    As the UK and US legal systems are similar IrCOd expect this to be true in
    the US as well.

    Number of high profile cases with folks, including one pedestrian death
    from a bike. With a mix of medical/technical issues be that getting black
    outs or poor vision, to riding a bike with one fairly ineffective brake,
    some did get convicted but plenty walked free such as the women that
    crashed her SUV into a Wimbledon school and killed and injured number of
    kids.

    That is not a failure of policing.


    In the UK at least the reporting of a murder trial is fairly controlled for
    a number of reasons, including so a trial can be legally held.

    IrCOm guessing itrCOs a robbery gone wrong, the article is fairly loose on facts. That herCOs avoided jail despite a fairly long criminal record,
    granted seem to be robbery and the like. IrCOd not call him a career criminal as just seem low rent stuff, ie credit cards and so on, IrCOm guessing drugs use and so on.

    Could be overcrowded at prisons, building new prisons isnrCOt particularly a vote winner and all that. UK government essentially had to do this as the
    new Government came in, ie they had to release number of prisoners as they where already using Police cells in some cases so where really at or over capacity.

    Could be policing it is their job to build a case.

    Could be just fragmented police/systems though does seem reportable how
    many crimes herCOs committed and relatively low prison time.

    Either way the system seem to have failed to protect citizens from a
    criminal who maybe didnrCOt intend to kill but shown to be capable, doesnrCOt seem to be any doubt he shot her.

    My opinion is that if someone commits a crime with a loaded gun,
    he/she has an intent to kill. Therefore, if they do kill, it's
    premeditated. Too bad the US legal system doesn't see it that way.

    In theory.

    In life, some people's violent behavior doesn't change until
    they are confined away from the citizenry.

    https://cwbchicago.com/2025/09/violent-16-time-felon-attacked-stranger-with-hammer-then-escaped-on-a-cta-bus-prosecutors.html

    https://cwbchicago.com/2025/09/a-consistent-intent-to-kill-2008-attempted-murderer-faces-a-new-full-blown-murder-charge-in-chicago.html

    or peruse any overnight police blotter in any city.

    And while imprisoning is a punishment it apparently does little to
    prevent future criminal acts as studies show that a major percent of
    those who have served a prison sentence are arrested again within 5 or
    5 years after competing their original sentence for additional
    criminal acts.

    Reference the "is perceived to be a risk of flight or" above. Just

    Roger Merriman

    Roger, ignore him. He has no clue what he's talking about. In the US breaking a law that leads to charges or convictions in one state usually
    leads to an extradition effort depending on the offense in the other
    state, and at the least with modern criminal data bases it could lead to penalties in the state of residence. It's in the US constitution under Interstate Extradition.

    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-4/section-2/clause-2/

    Here's an example:

    https://www.bostoncriminallawyerblog.com/charged-misdemeanor-ma-live-state/

    "Learn from TomrCOs Mistake

    Consider the following scenario, for example: Tom gets arrested for
    simple assault while on vacation in Boston. He was drunk and got into a
    bar fight. Tom spends the night in jail, and is released the next day.
    Tom is scheduled to appear in court in Boston, but he heads home to
    Oregon and vows never to return to the Bay State.

    Not so fast, Tom. If you try to evade out of state charges, yourCOll
    likely face additional penalties in the future. Even if you never return
    to MA, a simple traffic stop in your home state could reveal an out of
    state warrant, unleashing a snowball of consequences that generally far outweighs the penalties of your original offense."

    In my case, I was given a speeding ticket in Maine in the 1990's. I
    ignored it. This resulted in my privilege to drive in Maine being
    revoked. I didn't live in Maine, so, meh.

    A few years later I went to the registry of motor vehicles in
    Massachusetts to renew my license. I was told I couldn't because I had
    an outstanding violation in Maine where my driving privilege was
    suspended. I ended up having to go to Maine for a court hearing due to ignoring the ticket and subsequent summonses. What was a simple $25
    speeding ticket ended up costing me over $400 in fines, penalties,
    interests, and court fees.

    You can't simply move to avoid penalties in the US.

    Exactly. Much is made of a need for 'policing', but a guy
    with 39 convictions, 25 felonies, is still out and about.
    That is not a failure of policing.


    In the UK at least the reporting of a murder trial is fairly controlled for
    a number of reasons, including so a trial can be legally held.

    "Maybe didn?t intend to kill?" Of course he meant to kill. Pointing at >>>> her and pulling the trigger is proof he meant to kill.

    ItrCOs pre meditated or not, ie did someone go with the intent to kill or did
    it happen in the moment courts do tend to treat the two as differently even >>> if it doesnrCOt do the victim much either way.

    Roger Merriman

    My opinion is that if someone commits a crime with a loaded gun,
    he/she has an intent to kill. Therefore, if they do kill, it's
    premeditated. Too bad the US legal system doesn't see it that way.

    "Premeditated" is a sort of sometime thing. We neeed a third
    classification - "Maybe"? I got my gun and it's loaded but I wasn't
    really planning on shootimg anyone (Its Tuesday morning)?

    Well trod ground.

    Most if not all States have voluminous categories within
    homicide including myriad aggregating and mitigating factors
    and at least a few if not several separately described crimes.

    In theory.

    In life, some people's violent behavior doesn't change until
    they are confined away from the citizenry.

    Right.
    While not a permanent solution, the citizenry is spared for
    a few years. That's not nothing.

    Those are yet current. In most states, they are a privilege
    for low or medium security inmates and supply other prisons
    and institutions of the State.

    I believe that only 9 states have prison farms :-)

    Thank you. I didn't know they were reduced to that extent.

    I was familiar with the Wisconsin operation (I knew someone
    serving a sentence there) years ago.

    I don't know but I've always assumed that the reason for the
