Mother Sues Harris County, Blaming Death of Daughter on Bad Bail Reform

 

It was just days after Caitlynne Guajardo was murdered. The man she called her husband was accused of stabbing her and their unborn child to death. The world was spinning for Caitlynne’s mom, Melanie Infinger.

It was all a blur. The funeral. The grief. The sadness.

She finally had the chance to have some sleep, away from the tears. Infinger drifted off in her dream, though it became the first time she saw her 21-year-old daughter since her death. Infinger dreamt the two were in the car. Though, even in the dream state, she quickly realized her daughter wasn’t there.

The Untold Story- Selling Out Public Safety One District Attorney at a Time

Image
The Untold Story- Selling Out Public Safety One District Attorney at a Time By Eric Granof History is full of examples where good intentions paved the way to disastrous outcomes.  Today, we are witnessing another such moment -- a social experiment in criminal justice reform that has unleashed unforeseen consequences on our urban communities. This experiment was built on two flawed premises.  The first was that bail is unnecessary and people would voluntarily appear in court without financial incentives.  The second was that “soft-on-crime” policies would not lead to increased criminal activity.  Both assumptions have proven catastrophically wrong, but the damage has already been done. A group of individuals advocating bail reform -- and criminal justice reform in general -- established a network of groups to push a series of initiatives.  It was funded by a small number of extremely deep-pocketed foundations and wealthy billionaires.  Among them, the Open S...

Nathan Hochman Takes Office As New LA District Attorney- Hits the Ground Running

Image
  In his first two days in office, new Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has rolled back on progressive policies backed by former district attorney George Gascón. “I’ll be prioritizing public safety while ensuring real and effective criminal justice reform,” Hochman said in a recent interview with Annenberg Media. “I believe you can do both at the same time.” Hochman’s first changes expanded the power of L.A. County prosecutors to enforce harsher sentences for crimes. This included dismantling Gascón’s Proposition 47, which stated that certain non-violent offenses, including stealing merchandise under the value of $950, would be reclassified as misdemeanors rather than felonies. Hochman backed Proposition 36, which passed into law on November 5. This legislation aimed to reinforce strict penalties for repeat offenders, specifically in regard to theft and drug-related crimes. Gascón’s restrictions on applying gang-related sentence enhancements . . . To see more CLI...

Defeated Oregon District Attorney Seeks Release of 8 Violent Offenders Before Leaving Office

Image
Multnomah County, Soft on Crime, District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who was voted out of office on Election Day, petitioned an Oregon judge on Monday to reconsider the sentences of eight individuals – which could result in reduced charges and see the convicts freed from prison.     “These have all the appearance of a last-minute giveaway,” Multnomah County District Attorney-elect Nathan Vasquez, the Republican-turned-independent who defeated Schmidt, told the outlet.  “They’re extremely violent individuals who have committed horrible crimes, and they’re being given some kind of a break,” added Vasquez, who starts his term on Jan. 6.  Frank Swopes, Jr. Frank Swopes Jr., who was convicted of felony murder for the death of 75-year-old Jean Stevenson during a December 1993 home invasion, is among the violent offenders Schmidt is seeking to free.  Swopes Jr., 62, went on to commit another violent crime just a week after his accomplice killed Stevenson by pushing he...

New York State Senator- "Bail reform failure keeps all of NY in danger"

Image
Bail reform failure keeps all of NY in danger by New York State Senator Tom O'Mara October 24, 2024 It was just over a year ago, shortly after the enactment of a state budget that paid Albany Democrat lip service to the need to end New Y rk’s failed and dangerous bail reform experiment, when Gov. Kathy Hochul declared, “We are done with bail. We accomplished what we needed to do.” Since then, it sure has looked like the governor meant what she said. She and the Legislature’s Democrat majorities have done nothing to fix a continually failing and exceedingly dangerous law that they put in place and that has turned the criminal justice system in this state upside down.  The latest exhibit of their failure comes out of Western New York in Allegany County, where I represent a portion of the eastern half of the county. Recently, following a year-long investigation and surveillance operation of an illegal drug operation in a former factory in the small town of Cuba, local and state law en...
