The Brewing Scandal Over Gregory "Killa Mu 2" Favors - Why Did They Go Against The Recommendations And Let Him Out?

(Note:  I am making some end of year upgrades to my video recording and archiving system.  It is not yet operating as it is supposed to so I don't have the video clips to represent the tone of outrage that is present in Metro Atlanta over this event.  )

Who allowed multiple felon Gregory Favors out of jail a few weeks ago over the objections of so many who warned otherwise?

The Fulton County Magistrate Court and their use of the "Rocket Docket" as a means of expediting the court cases of criminals charged with non-violent felonies appears to be where the problem resides.

The murderous actions of Gregory Favors are most certainly going to cause the politicians who are going to suffer the heat for this police man's murder to substantially tighten up on the "rocket docket".

The mayor of Atlanta, the Fulton County District Attorney and other officials are asking for an investigation of the actions of the Magistrate Court.

From The Article

The premature release of Gregory Favors, charged Tuesday in the murder of state trooper Chadwick LeCroy, underscores a "serious crisis" in the operation of Fulton County's Non-Complex Criminal Court Division, according to a letter signed by District Attorney Paul Howard, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and APD Chief George Turner.

Favors, arrested three times this year after trying to flee police, obtained bond in Fulton County each time against the recommendation of a pretrial services officer. Such inconsistencies are not uncommon within the division -- the so-called "rocket docket" -- that was created to expedite "low level" felonies, wrote the three local leaders in a missive addressed to Fulton Chief Judge Cynthia Wright.

Reed, Howard and Turner want Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Carol Hunstein to oversee a commission that will study whether the Non-Complex Division's philosophy of "moving cases" squares "with the best interest of public safety." In the meantime they want the division's operation temporarily suspended and case responsibility turned over to 16 superior court judges, "as is done in every other jurisdiction in Georgia," the letter asserts.

I have to be transparent and say that thus far I have not heard a peep out of the local "Concerned Black Clergy" on this matter.  I assure you that they are reading each news article on this matter.  They don't have their next meeting until Monday.

The funeral procession for Trooper LeCroy is today (Friday).   If there is a drumbeat in which the "Black criminal threat" is driven as a problem that must be checked - we will then hear from the CBC.

Notice again - that these "Street Pirates" are would be "Pillars of the Community" who SUFFERED from "Benign Neglect" and a diluted social and cultural framework within which they were incubated.  Instead of focusing upon an outward and defensive disposition these groups should show their worth by implementing more ENDURING and COMPREHENSIVE solutions within.
