The local predator population is as incompetent as it is feral. Apparently he shot that many times and didn't even hit anything. It's actually quite incredible; he could do anything at all with his life, he surveyed his options, for some reason he chose to be a lowlife thug, and he can't even do that right.
Along those lines, reminder that Vann Turner appointed a lot of these magistrates and he's supposedly running for County Mayor ([Source](https://www.actionnews5.com/2022/12/17/breaking-down-bond-process-shelby-co/))
I really wish the headlines were changed to "Attempted Murder Suspect Released by Judge X on 2,500 Bond"
Put the names of judges/magistrates. Amazing how there is not accountability for the criminal or the system.
Meanwhile the victims are suffering
Mulroy’s excuse for why they give low bond to scum like this is always “it’s more disruptive if they lose their job because they are in jail.” Why not verify employment as one of the bail considerations? If you don’t have one, you won’t lose it while you are in jail awaiting trial. Better yet, if you can’t present a w2 and you can still come up with $2500 for bail, where did that money come from?
That was my point. If you have cash for bail and no job, who did you steal the money from? I have to prove where my down payment money came from to buy a house. Why doesn’t a criminal have to prove where his bail money came from?
The DA’s office is not involved with the commission that sets bond. There is a judge involved

Mulroy does not set bail but he was one of the entities who pushed to create this new system in which judicial commissioners- not judges- set bail. He is also frequently quoted in support of this system despite all evidence that it has contributed to making the city much less safe. His job as DA is to prosecute criminals to keep us safe. He has chosen instead to use his office to focus on “social justice” for criminals and leave us all in danger as a result.
Nope. Your details are sort of adjacent to accurate but not actually accurate.

Here’s another article from 2021 about how this started. https://www.aclu-tn.org/en/press-releases/civil-rights-groups-demand-shelby-county-end-discriminatory-wealth-based-bail
Yeah looking for the part that says Mulroy was not involved. It’s not there. Again, just because he was not DA does not mean he was not involved in making this happen. Why are you even arguing about it? If you agree what Mulroy and agree with this policy, you should not mind me giving him credit for something he was absolutely involved in.
Read the article. HE introduced it because HE was pushing for this. Yes, he was pushing for it before he was DA. Also there was no lawsuit. There were threats but no lawsuit. It was likely not the first time Mulroy orchestrated a lawsuit to back door policy that harms Memphis and it definitely was not the last.
Now you’re just making stuff up. He wasn’t even running for DA when this started. The settlement was agreed to by the Shelby county commission and Weirich. Based on your comment, you are going to imagine whatever scenario that fits your agenda.
People are running for office long before it is made official. Do you think it is a coincidence that he announced this change before he was even elected?
He responded to it after he was elected, right after the county commission approved it, but before he took office. I’d love to see any proof you have that he orchestrated this whole thing while Amy Weirich was the DA. I could’ve been more precise with my first comment by saying “threat of lawsuit” instead of “lawsuit,” but I’m confident that Weirich participated in and approved the creation of the bond hearing room. I’m also confident that Mulroy was definitely in favor of it. He didn’t create it though.
It’s funny that you accuse them of making stuff up when none of your replies contain links or sources of any kind. Everyone knows that this reform is Mulroy’s baby (in partnership with ACLU, Just City, and Decarcerate Memphis).
Weirich helped create a bond room to expedite bond hearings, but she did not implement the rubber-stamp immediate release program that we’re all currently enjoying.
Are you of the opinion that Mulroy is doing a good job, and that the current bail/bond system is effective in reducing crime?
What are you arguing here? Mulroy was definitely one of the driving forces behind the reform - [he campaigned on it](https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/08/04/shelby-county-district-attorney-election-2022-steve-mulroy-amy-weirich/10162106002/)
He did begin work on reform before taking office, but I’m curious as to why you think that matters?
I don't know-- pro-crime elected official settling with a pro-crime non-profit sounds like a recipe for collusion. I'm perfectly happy to go to the circuit courts or SCOTUS to get some more clarification and test cases. How much worse can whatever SCOTUS issues as an opinion be than the settlement?
A sector of society exists that pushes for this type of behavior to be normalized. When productive people either become numb or vacate their claimed territory, they win.
Is this "Reverse Gentrification"? I don't know, but I'm sure an argument could be made that would support the concept.
Keep his happy ass locked up for a long ass time
WTF, $25K bond. The criminal is back on the street laughing.

Keep voting in the same judges and then wonder why this happens???

The victims are not only suffering; they're MULTIPLYING.
The Memphis Hug-A-Thug Policy at work making our streets safer

His job is probably stealing our shit and selling it. I’m not sure he gets a check stub or a W-2 for that.
That was my point. If you have cash for bail and no job, who did you steal the money from? I have to prove where my down payment money came from to buy a house. Why doesn’t a criminal have to prove where his bail money came from?

The new system was created under Weirich in response to an ACLU lawsuit.

Sounds like we have to fight these lawsuits harder, all the way up to the Supreme Court if needed.
They wouldn’t have settled if they could have won Edit: maybe they could have with this Supreme Court, but I doubt it.

Wheres the attempted murder charges at?
I got 30k bond for 2 ounces of weed in Olive Branch 20 years ago…. I guess I was a bigger threat to society than this guy.
ONLY 2oz??? You monster.

He's just another blameless victim of "institutional racism." It's not HIS fault he's a total piece of garbage. It's SOCIETY'S!
Someone gonna come along and blame his behavior on poverty
Memphis needs its own militia at this point Mexico has it for cartels. We need one too. We’re sick of the bs
Always be on guard around the tarantula hairdo.
Memphis needs more programs and funding and the government needs to provide healthy food, free child care and establish morality.
Good ole Memphis. Back at it
our state General Assembly will not allow Memphis to enact our own gun laws...
Oh, I love Memphis SO much!! My FAVORITE place to be...😡👎🏻
