New York- Man Released by Bail Reform, Beats 2 Women in Unprovoked Attack, Then Released AGAIN!

 



A homeless man in New York City who was charged with beating a man last year and subsequently set free on bail reform, allegedly beat two women in unprovoked attacks this month, only to be released yet again. 

Darrell Johnson, 23, has more than a dozen arrests dating back to 2014, the New York Post reported citing sources. Last year, he was charged with assault and harassment after he allegedly beat a man "about the face with a closed fist multiple times" in a Harlem building and then "used his feet to kick and stomp" the victim, according to a court complaint. 

He was released without bail, however, due to New York lawmakers passing sweeping changes to the state's bail laws in 2019 that restricts crimes where judges can set bail.

Johnson then allegedly beat two women in unprovoked attacks last Thursday morning in Manhattan. 

In one of the attacks, he allegedly left a 50-year-old woman with a "disfiguring laceration" to her face in a "violent, unprovoked" attack, sources told the New York Post. 

Three minutes later, he reportedly walked up to a 32-year-old victim on West 80th Street and punched her, causing "redness and swelling," the outlet reported. 

Both women required hospitalization but did not suffer life-threatening injuries. 

The District Attorney's office told the New York Post that his charges in the attack were not sufficient for him to be held on bail.

The Bail Post Episode No. 72- What Public Relations Has Done for the Texas Bail Industry with Guest Cara Downs and Elliott Chang

Image
  As we begin Season 5 of the Bail Post, we are talking about the importance of engaging in public relations in the Criminal Justice System.  One of the things that we have learned over the years is that the activists will never admit that they are wrong or that they are doing more harm than good.  Also, they have learned how to inundate google with pseudo studies that are really nothing more than dressed up press releases from these same groups that many times actually contradict what the actual science says should be the proper course of action.  Therefore, if we are not telling the positive stories of the bail industry and the Criminal Justice System, then these stories will not be told.  If we are not highlighting what the actual science says then many times no one will.   Our guests on today's episode of The Bail Post is our PR Team- Cara Downs and Elliott Chang who are Media Vista PR.  If you would like more information about Cara and Elliott con...

A day after scamming $3,000 from a Paterson woman, the suspects became greedy and ended up getting caught trying to steal another $500 from her, police said. The initial crime took place on Monday, when a woman telephoned a 54-year-old Paterson resident and told her that her nephew was in jail and being held on $3,000 bail, police said. The aunt handed over the money to bail him out, but then she received a second call on Tuesday from a woman saying her nephew was back in jail and needed $500 for bail, police said. The second time, the victim became suspicious and called her nephew who told her that he had not been in jail, police said. When the scammers showed up at the aunt’s Marshall Street home on Tuesday, her nephew was waiting for them, police said. But when the nephew confronted the woman who came to pick up the cash, her accomplice pulled up in a vehicle and pulled out a gun, police said. The get-away driver then pulled off when the nephew started taking his picture, leaving hi...
