Tennessee Senate vote with yes to changes in the limitation of the accused violent criminal bond

Nashville, Tenn. (WZTV) – On Monday, the Senate von Tennessee voted to adopt the state of the state to adopt the constitution of the state, which would refuse the suspect, which is accused of having committed a hideous crime bond at the judge to improve public security.

Senate Joint Resolution 25 by Senator Jack Johnson is the first step to change the way the bond has been dealt with in the past. The constitution of the state only allows the judges to refuse deposit in the first degree in murder cases in which the accused could receive the death penalty.

SJR 25 allows the judges to refuse the bond for more than 60 serious crimes, including capital crimes, terrorist files, second degree murder, severe rape of a child, severe rape and serious torture.

Throughout the middle of the intermediate time, FOX 17 News has reported several accused criminals about Bond, who were suspected of having committed even more violent crimes.

For example Bricen Rivers.

The subway police said he almost killed his ex-girlfriend Lauren Johansen in Nashville.

He had a reduced bond for particularly serious kidnapping, severe stalking and coercion of a witness when the U -Bahn police said he exceeded the national borders to kill Johansen.

Not to mention that his GPS monitor state was not properly followed due to the practices of the bonding companies.

Lauren Johansen's father, Lance, said the biggest problem was that he was primarily on Bond.

The charge of the river would fall under the many serious crimes listed under SJR 25.

“These people don't have to be on the street again,” said Johansen.

The change has the confirmation of the General Conference of the District Prosecutor of Tennesse, which you have described as “the most unique law on criminal justice that we have evaluated for over a decade.

When it said goodbye to the Senate of the state of Tenness on Monday, Johansen was happy.

“I think it's a good step that you know that this is common sense,” he said.

The legislature argued that the plan would overfill prisons, would be too expensive and was a constitutional law.

Jeff Clayton, the executive director of the American Bail Coalition, repeated this and said that the accused must be convicted earlier for public security. This despite the accused criminal, who sometimes combined on the same day.

“It takes an average of 244 days to get a conviction in Tennessee. If we get one when we find the guy, we have to catch these criminals and we have to condemn them quickly. Otherwise you know that we will never solve the crime.”

He also said he hadn't seen that the solution had an impact on crime.

Johansen told Fox 17 News that the opposing points of view are when you consider that he will never keep his daughter back in his arms.

“If it were your daughter, I guarantee that you would not talk up there about how much it costs to keep someone in prison,” he said.

He is still worried when the judges will make the right decision if you consider that River's bond has been reduced, but he said Fox 17 news if this legislation is completely adopted, this would make a difference.

The next step is that SJR 25 is chosen in the house, and in the elections of the Governor elections in 2026, the voters decide whether to refuse violent criminals for the efforts to deny, say.
