Police, prosecutors say new bail laws are threat to public safety | WNYT.com
Police, prosecutors say new bail laws are threat to public safety | WNYT.com: Skyler Crouse spit at a NewsChannel 13 photographer as he was being led into arraignment on a manslaughter charge Thursday evening. Police say Crouse drove 100-miles per hour on the Northway when he crashed his truck into Joseph Turcotte's truck and killed the pillar of the Brant Lake community. Crouse, who lives on an Indian reservation in Canada, left court in handcuffs after a judge ordered him held without bail. But if this had happened Jan. 1, 2020 or later, Crouse, who has a history of failing to show up for court, would have been set free and told to come back for future court proceedings. Police and prosecutors in Warren and Washington counties aren't happy with the new bail laws. See original work for more on this and other stories.
