The @GeorgeGascon algorithm — which @chesaboudin continues to use to decide if suspects are “low risk” — didn’t work too well with #VermondJones. Gascon is at fault, along with Boudin, #lenientjudges, and Boudin’s no money bail. Jones should have been in prison. Now he’s dead.https://twitter.com/genothefox/status/1312283107244994560 …

Predicting future human risk isn’t an exact science, but the algorithm has proven safer than bail. Based on your faulty logic had more bad stuff happened under bail they’d be absolved of responsibility, but since they’re reformers they’re to blame?

The guy had 37 felonies in two years — maybe you should read his criminal record. If an algorithm and humans can’t figure out he should be in prison I don’t know what to say. But he’s dead now.

But had he been able to buy his way out of jail, that would have solved the problem? Or maybe because you live in the Marina you think that only poor black and brown people are dangerous? That worked great for Robert Durst.

What’s up with bail anyway? Why not just keep people in prison rich or poor? Would it be some crazy wait time until the trial or whatever happens afterwards?

Yes. Takes an average of about 270 days to resolve a felony case in SF. If everyone stays in people inherently will plead guilty just to get out more quickly. Also flies in the face of the presumption of innocence.

Ok, I’m under the impression it was done wrong. Bail is not a discriminatory practice, it’s not racist, it’s not classist, it’s just stupid, and it comes from our innefecient courts. Whatever is causing the 270 days to not be 2.7 days is the issue.

Ok fair enough, the presumption of innocence does seem tricky.
