Hours after a nonprofit group bailed a Missouri man out of jail, he beat his wife so severely that she died five days later, police said, according to KMOV.
Samuel Lee Scott, 54, is accused of killing Marcia Johnson, 54, on April 9, KMOV reported. She died on April 14 — and two days later, Scott, of St. Louis, was charged with first-degree murder in connection to his wife’s death.
Prior to the murder charge, Scott had been booked into jail on April 5 on a misdemeanor domestic assault charge after he was accused of hitting his wife on “the right side of her face with his fist” in January, KTVI reported.
quote:
“While he was in jail, (his) wife got a restraining order against him which prohibited him from getting within 300 feet of her,” KSDK reported. “But one day later, his $5,000 bail was posted by The Bail Project and he went to her home ... around 7:45 p.m. At around 11 p.m., a friend of his wife brought her to the hospital after finding her bleeding from her head.”
The woman died of injuries caused by “blunt force trauma,” KMOV reported.
quote:
Court documents show Scott was released from jail on April 9 with help from The Bail Project, KTVI reported.
“The Bail Project is an unprecedented effort to combat mass incarceration at the front end of the system,” according to its website. “We pay bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence.”
The project is a nonprofit organization, according to its website.
Mike Milton, site manager of the St. Louis Bail Project, said in a written statement that this is a “devastating” moment, according to the Post-Dispatch.
“Nobody wants to see something like this happen, but it is crucial to remember that bail didn’t cause this tragedy — Mr. Scott, a 54-year-old father, was charged with a misdemeanor, and if he’d just been wealthy enough to afford his bail he would have been free in either case,” Milton said, according to the newspaper. “Moments like this are devastating, but it’s important not to lose sight of the larger injustices of cash bail and the need for reform.”
BUT MUH FINANCIAL INEQUALITY
quote:
In the statement obtained by KMOV, Milton said the group is “deeply saddened by this tragedy,” the TV station reported.
“Many of us and our close relations have lost family members to violence and we are heartbroken that this has happened to yet another member of the St. Louis community,” Milton said, according to KMOV. “Our deepest condolences and sympathies go to Marcia Johnson’s family.”

Start calling them what they are: Progressive foot soldiers.
The left is becoming more evil by the day.
Now watch the Democrats demand this guy gets a vote.

Wow, that will probably cost them even MORE bail money to get him out now.

I wouldn’t have a problem with them paying bail for minor drug offenses and similar, but I’m amazed that they are dumb enough to pay for bail for wife beaters. That’s really something.

The woman who founded the charity thinks being unable to pay bale is what causes mass incarceration.

Advocates for legal reform have for years targeted the issue of mass incarceration — and its disproportionate impact on minority communities — by trying to persuade prosecutors not to charge people with petty crimes and offer those found guilty of minor wrongdoings an alternative to prison. But the imposition of money bail has remained a thorny problem and resulted in inequities: Those who can afford to pay it often emerge from custody within days or hours of being charged, while the poor are forced to languish behind bars, at times for months or years, and face a host of collateral consequences, losing their jobs, apartments, sometimes even their children.
They believe people who commit crimes only commit those crimes because they're poor and only that condition alone makes the difference.

Guys we can’t let little things like this detract us from the mission of destroying the white supremacist patriarchy

It’s like the concept of causation is lost on these people.

My biggest problem with the criminal justice movement is the large, maybe even majority segment that simply want consequences removed.

That didn't work out very well.

In Jackson bail is notoriously low. Every time a police chief or mayor says “we need real parents in the home” they are on borrowed time.

The candidates supporting this need to be hammered on specific examples like this. If we had a balanced media it would make great material during the debates.

Also, from the other article:
The Bail Project Executive Director Robin Steinberg said the group was “deeply saddened” by Johnson’s murder, but said that they were in no way responsible for what had occurred.
"No one could have predicted this tragedy," Steinberg claimed, according to the Associated Press.
St. Louis Bail Project site manager Mike Milton also released a statement in the wake of the brutal murder, and argued that the group's cause was more important than Johnson's murder, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
