Don't forget to place A LOT of the blame on the piss poor judges in Harris County. They are as bad as Kim Ogg.
Much worse. I'm not sure if there's any historical precedence for judges consistently giving bonds lower than what the prosecutors ask, or simply refusing to hold trials. I saw an interview with one judge - one of the few to actually go on camera and answer questions - saying that he believed it was unconstitutional to hold someone in jail pending trial who has not been convicted of a crime. Which sounds nice on the surface if you're having a dormroom philosophical bull session between freshmen in college. But it's crazy when you're talking about homicides with witnesses and evidence, and no expectation of a trial to happen quickly. So gangbangers know they can do a couple days in jail, maybe attend a hearing, and be released to go kill again.RiverAg 80 said:

Harry, in 2017 I took a search warrant to one of the Black Magic judges. The case was pending in a county along the border but we were running search warrants on a couple of houses in Harris County. A friend of mine who works at the DA's office there had me meet him in court and he would get me up to the judge to get the search warrants signed. This judge was the most clueless judge I have ever encountered.
I told her the pending case was in Dimmit County. She had no clue there was a county in Texas named Dimmit.
I explained that we just wanted to run search warrants on a couple of houses located in Harris County. She asked what the case was about. When I told her it was a human trafficking case she got VERY animated and loudly said "I don't want that case in my court!" I again explained to her that the case was being prosecuted in a county far, far away and that the case would not be in her court, she quickly signed the search warrants without reading a word of the affidavits. Even if she had read the affidavits, she would not have known what she was reading. Absolutely clueless!!

Curious who the mediator was?ChipFTAC01 said:
One of the properties that I manage is in litigation over property values. We tried to do mediation with the CAD and the mediator is a retired judge. The judge, knowing what court our case was in, tried very, very carefully to intimate that our trial judge was basically a moron.

I saw on the news last night when they were talking about the felony reform bill that in the last two years in Harris County, there have been 131 homicides by people who were out on bond for multiple felonies or a violent felony.
