The primary goal of Liccardo's new plan is to focus on what he calls the 'revolving door' at jail for violent felons, with an emphasis on extreme repeat offenders.
"The bail schedule as I know it will expire on May 31," he explained."I think that's an opportunity for us to, at least, present data to judges so they understand what exactly we're seeing out on the street, in the communities and hope that they will consider some of that data."
Legal analyst and former prosecutor Steven Clark points out the courts are"supposed to be independent" of law enforcement. "But what Mayor Liccardo is saying is that certain people should not be released because of a public safety concern," Clark explained. "So law enforcement needs to communicate that early on to the courts. If they want to have a partnership here, and not just blame the courts when someone leaves or doesn’t come back or commits a new crime while they’re out on some kind of release.
