Illinois Becomes First State to Commit to Eliminating Cash Bail

Are they held accountable now if the person is released on bail and they harm someone? The only change here now is the amount of money a person has does not determine if they are let out or not. If we believe people are innocent until proven guilty then the barrier to keep people in jail until their trial should be a VERY high standard to hit. If they don't present a clear physical danger to the community they should maintain their right to freedom until it's proven in court they are guilty of a crime.
