Seattle gets serious about gun violence

SEATTLE — A man charged with murder in connection to mass shooting in downtown Seattle was released Wednesday onto electronic home monitoring following a motion granted by a King County judge last week.

Prosecutors argued strongly against Tolliver’s release, especially since he was on Department of Corrections supervision at the time of the shooting, and he’s been known to run before. He and Tolbert were arrested in Las Vegas after the shooting in 2020.

“When you have somebody who has a history of not following court orders, has a half dozen domestic violence offenses, no matter who the defendant is, that’s a concern,” Casey McNerthney with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said.

In federal court, “detention/supervised release” is based on the defendant’s flight risk and danger to the community.

Wonder what the standards are in WA and OR?

Having a Dim Governor making the judicial appointments for the last 34 years explains Oregon’s judicial system . . .

Not a damn thing! All these Soros DA's and commie politicians are releasing everyone to keep the chaos going. The people won't accept the loss of freedom/rights etc. without enough chaos.

But the same people want my guns taken from me at gunpoint and if I resisted, they want me up on their victory wall with David Koresh and a bunch of dead kids and Vicki Weaver.
