..., assault w/ intent to murder, and additional gun charges, all while out on $25,000 bail for more than 100 grams of crack cocaine and a pound of marijuana and possession of three handguns.

Arrested in June for drug and gun charges, released, arrested in October for intent to murder et al, shot dead in December.
Way to go, Maura! The Globe article, and the Reverend Eugene F. Rivers III are quick to blame the system and play the race card, of course, but he/they are half right: The system (DAs, the AGO, AND Judges) release violent offenders because there's no political gain in actually doing their jobs.
Seriously, LEOs... How frustrating is it to keep cycling animals thru the system only to see them on the street again?
 
"Then, in October, Brown was arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on charges filed in connection with a March gunfight in Roxbury that left Allex Bryant, 28, dead, according to the office of Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.

Brown allegedly participated in a shootout alongside brothers Niccokawon and Dartanyan Pledger and Niccokawon Pledger’s girlfriend, Lisa Lewis.

Prosecutors alleged that Brown fired a gun multiple times as the group fled after the Pledger brothers fatally shot Bryant.

Brown was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to murder, and additional gun charges.

His bail in that case was set at $3,000."

Sounds like a nice group of kids. Obviously turning his life around after all his last arrest didn't include drugs.[thinking]
 
It's that free flow of guns from NH rednecks buying and filing off serial numbers. [rofl]

you know this wouldn't happen if someone gave them some medical textbooks.
 
When he was arrested earlier this year, he posted $25K bail, but was considered "indigent" and couldn't afford a lawyer.

Go figure.

I'm sure he was just turning his life around, too. Was he an aspiring rapper to complete the cover-all?
 
If it weren't for guns he would have been a boy scout helping old ladies crossing the street and being a father to his kids. His kids being the same age as the kids he sold drugs to. /The Boston Globe editors 5 minutes later calling for gun control and CJ 'reform'.

Don't think that's fair: this is a pretty realistic statement.

Rivers said that Brown was representative of “a number of very violent repeat offenders that are too frequently now circulated through the system and released back on the street.”

These young men, amazingly, are being released back into these poor neighborhoods and never held accountable,” Rivers said. “This wouldn’t happen if we were talking about Wellesley or Weston and young men like this. . . . The black community, in particular, must demand more of these judges.”

If you don’t recall, Brown and his fiancee were stopped by a handful of Wellesley police officers with guns drawn in September of 1990 after he was misidentified by a bank employee as a suspect in a robbery. The 21-year-old basketball pro was released once he showed identification, but the damage was done at a time when the Boston area’s racial tensions were flaring in the wake of the Charles Stuart case.

couple of original handles right there....Niccokawon and Dartanyan Pledger. Why do I know the name Dartanyan? was that in an old saturday morning cartoon or something?

The 3 Musketeers? Only it's spelled D'Artagnan.

Funny though, because the correct spelling looks more ghettoized.

The forth Musketeer. The three Musketeers are Athos, Porthos and Aramis,. The Dumas novel is written through the eyes of D'Artagnan after he joins them in Paris and becomes the fourth Musketeer.
However whoever named him didn't get the spelling correct.
 
Oh come on now! These were just good, misunderstood kids! They didn't deserve to be gunned down! They was turnin they lives around!

Coincidentally, the subject came up yesterday regarding Micheal York when my GF asked me what movies he was in (we were watching 'Logans Run'...
Micheal York played D'Artagnan in the early 70's version of 'The 3 Musketeers' and 'The 4 Musketeers').

However whoever named him didn't get the spelling correct.

Do they ever?
 
After seeing the bail of $3000.00 for what they are accused of.

We have nothing to worry about with the whole AWB thing! LOL

It's that sugar-house to crack-house pipeline of guns!
 
If it were one of us carrying an AR-15 locked in the trunk with a separate magazine and a box of spent shells....NO BAIL! Lock us up and throw away the key. We are a "school massacre" or a "downtown rampage" or a "workplace violence" waiting to happen.
 
It's not accidental or a case of slipping through the cracks.
It's deliberate as f*ck all.
They WANT these animals out on the street doing what they do.

Did he pay the $25,000 bail or did he find somebody to pay it/ a portion to a bondsman? Down here in Connecticut, it would be possible for somebody to get home on a $25,000 surety bond for less than $1,000 up front through a professional bondman. (The bondsman's fees would end up being $2,500)

Nope, if they catch one of us with a stripped lower, no other gun parts and a couple .22 empty casings it would be no bail, and with a bunch of dangerousness stuff added on to make sure that our lives would be ruined by the media coverage regardless of reality.
 
Remember the guy jacked up over carrying against restrictions on BU's campus during graduation? 100k bail, held for a month or so. Meanwhile an actual murderous repeat offending felon and all the city and state does is say "pretty please behave next time".

The system in many states is set up so the bail bond is a pre-trial punishment. A minor offense like non-traditional shopping will have something like a $5000 bail, the suspect forfeits $500 to a bondsman. In MA, bondsmen are rare since the bails are set small as to remove the need for a bondsman - shoplifting might get a $500 bond. It's not worth getting a bondsman for such a small amount. Some offenses like first offense OUI in MA are generally "personal recognizance", whereas in other states bail is required (more to show "toughness" than actually assure a middle age person without a record will show up for the OUI trial), and the mechanics can make impossible for a person to bail him/herself out after hours or on a weekend - hence the bondsman.

The system in these states likes the bail bondsman system because it inflicts pain and punishment on someone accused of a crime prior to that pesky trial thing, plus it can be a boon to landlords in the bad section of town (if you can't rent your building to a pawn broker, just find a bondsman who needs office space).

An interesting writeup that explains the near compete absence of bondsmen in MA:

If he gets locked up, it's a "racial disparity in sentencing" but if you let'em out it's a "failure to keep dangerous criminals out of poor neighborhoods".

Either way it's everybody elses fault.

I get that. Connecticut is very similar, in the sense that many low level crimes result in non-surety bonds (meaning that a bond value is assigned, but that the defendant's signature rather than cash, professional surety, etc... secures the bond....and that the defendant get's out fairly quickly).
Police will sometimes set low surety bonds on some cases. If people don't make them, they are usually either reduced further, converted to nonsurety bonds, or turned into PTA's (our equivalent of a Recognizance). (Before appearing at arraignment, an in custody defendant will meet the the bail commissioner who can make recommendation on reduced bail) That said, I feel as though we do have a lot more bondsman than Mass has- but that may be because I live in a city with a fairly busy PD and state courthouse (with part A and part B criminal courts). [Courts can also set bonds to be cash only or 10% cash, though either are uncommon. A defendant can pay a surety bond with cash as well]

One of the liberal proposals here was to make 10% cash bonds more common (when surety was deemed necessary) but the bail bonds industry was very loud.
