DA: Gang leader shot to death after release from jail due to coronavirus

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans prosecutors say the alleged leader of a heroin-dealing gang who was awaiting trial was killed Sunday just days after he was released from jail due to the coronavirus.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office said 33-year-old Glynn McCormick was shot more than a dozen times around 3:15 pm Sunday near the corner of Dumaine and North Broad streets by someone with an assault-style rifle.
Prosecutors say McCormick was not sheltering at home from the coronavirus and was instead roaming his former drug-dealing turf known as “D-Block.” Cannizzaro’s office said McCormick, described as the leader of a “violent heroin-dealing enterprise,” was awaiting trial for racketeering when he was released from custody on April 1.
The DA’s office said Criminal District Judge Darryl Derbigny ordered McCormick’s release, over objections from prosecutors, in response to a COVID-19 related motion to reduce bond filed by McCormick’s attorney. “Perhaps this judge thought he was doing someone a favor disregarding our objection. But as we argued last week, Mr. McCormick’s release served no public health need and certainly no public safety purpose,” Cannizzaro said.

This is a good way to save tax dollars, instead of an expensive trial let these guys out.
Then they look like snitches and get whacked for free

The case for social distancing.
Also - Be careful what you wish for.

How the frick is this guy released with the lower level, non violent offenders? His original bond was set at $1 million

Actually a double tally: death due to the virus and a death as a result of the failure of the criminal justice system.
