  • In the county’s electronic monitoring program administered by Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart’s office, defendants wear an ankle monitor equipped with GPS and cellular tower tracking technology. Some say the readings are not always accurate, leading to incorrect reports of violations.

    We give WAY too much power to judges, many of them are irresponsible and corrupt, we need to make huge changes in our justice system.

    If you start picking and choosing who has rights and who doesn't, then the system doesn't work. "Oh well he's charged with murder"... Keyword is 'charged', not convicted.

    I was going to be sent back to jail for driving without a license because my device lost its charge while I was sleeping. Luckily it was my last night and they had no choice but to release me.

    Why are you glossing over the charge. HE IS BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER.. Cry me a river. How bout we keep alleged murderers in JAIL.

      @John Voet That's why you're not a lawyer or a judge, and God forbid you EVER serve on a jury. Your "Guilty until proven innocent" attitude is sickening. If he were white, you'd never write that. You should have stayed in school.

      Keep alleged murderers in jail? How about we keep CONVICTED murderers in jail and speed up the process of integrity and justice to figure out IF an alleged murderer is actually innocent or guilty. You must be white.

      This story is about getting it right and those overseeing our criminal justice system being honest in their pursuit of justice. Neither Sheriff Dart or the judge, in this case, were honest. This man clearly and factually did nothing wrong to violate the terms of his monitoring and had video proof. The device malfunctioned. It's called "drifting" when a signal goes wayward, away from the device and the towers lose the exact location. The man was secured and the community was safe. Dart & the judge, the elected professionals who are expected to uphold justice on behalf of the taxpayers, failed to do their job competently in their elected roles.
