Very germane and timely article from the San Francisco Chronicle.
https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Half-of-people-released-from-jail-in-San-16310162.php
Roughly half of people charged with crimes and released from jail before their trials in San Francisco in recent years failed to show up for court, and a similar share were accused of committing a new crime while free, a new study found.
More than 1 in 6 defendants allegedly committed a new violent offense, according to the findings from May 2016 to December 2019 published by the California Policy Lab, based at UC Berkeley and UCLA.
These are rather telling, and damning, numbers. Interestingly enough, this study covers the time Gascon was DA in San Francisco County, prior to moving on to attempt to destroy Los Angeles County as well.
