And finally tonight, some good news.
A district judge in Dallas, Texas has ruled that the Bail's system in Harris County is
completely unfair.
And he gave the county 30 days to fix it.
This is the second ruling in recent weeks challenging the Bail's system in southern
states.
The judge in Dallas said that the court was not taking the defendant's financial situation
into account, and instead they were imposing the same standard bail to all defendants regardless
of their ability to pay.
This means that anyone who can't come up with the cash is going to sit in prison until their
trial.
There are really are two justice systems in the United States, one for the haves, and
one for everybody else.
This recent ruling about the unconstitutionality of our bail process, they're helping to close
the gap between the haves and the have nots, one county at a time.
We can be hopeful.
