Clip: 1/27/2022 | 5m 5sVideo has Closed Captions
Cook County's chief judge says crime a problem, but alleged criminals deserve due process.
In the back-and-forth over what's causing the surge in crime, some critics, including the mayor, have pointed at the judicial branch. The contention: That changes to the bail system, electronic monitoring, and leniency from judges are making life too easy for criminals. In a rare extended, public appearance the county's chief judge, Tim Evans, pushed back.
