Nearly 100 Chicago-area murder suspects are free on electronic home monitoring rather than being held behind bars in jail.
CBS News reported Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart’s office is responsible for keeping watch on the roughly 2,600 suspects on home-monitoring in the county.
Of those roughly 2,600, Dart indicated that “seventy-five to 80 percent” were charged with a violent offense.
He added, “I have about 100 people on home monitoring who are charged with murder.”
