And its not getting any easier as next week they go on the road again. Tom pipines is here with the blitz. Follow todays 4725 debacle. Mike mccarthys men certainly arent setting the world on fire their defense was disgraceful in the first half. So bad that the titans led 21 nothing before Aaron Rodgers had completed his 3rd pass the packers are 4 and 5for the First Time Since 2 thousand 8when they finished 6 and 10. Leadership must be questioned. After failing to move the ball with great field position, the touchdown on the titans first play from scrimmage. Murray ties a franchise record with at least 1 rushing td in 5 straight games. The titans found the end zone against at will against defenseless green bay 4 straight touchdowns. Marcus mariota to Anthony Fasano with no packers player in the same zip code 21 nothing. The packers trailed 3510 before Aaron Rodgers threw his 2nd and final td pass. He was intercepted twice. 13 yards to james starks who returned for the first time in a 3516. Mason crosby missed the point after. Rodgers, under siege all daysacked 5 times. A 20 yard td run. He gets rocked in the end zone. That cost the titans a penalty. 3522. But marioto threw his 4th td pass. 41 22. That was that. 4725 final. Tim van vooren with the blitz. For the second straight week, the packers behind from the at tennessee. This on sunday, is a bad loss. We understand how poorly we performed today as a team. Were disappointed. We have Higher Standards than that. We have Higher Expectations of one another. So thats what well tap into and grab onto. You gotta remain positive come together. Everybody is gonna be coming down on us, and thats just how it happens. We just have to stick together. I mean, things didnt go the way we wanted them to, but our confidence never wavered. We came out, they got up a little bit on us, and they won the game. You guys dont believe me, but its always short term. Its always week by week. Thats the only way you manage this 16 game season. So, specially when you get into a situation like we are with three on the road or three or four at home, whatever it was. Its all week by week. If you start looking at anything past that, your mind is gonna start spinning, and youre gonna be in trouble. When asked specifically if jobs are on the line, Aaron Rodgers says after the game in nashville, thats the nature of the regular season for green bay. At nissan stadium, tim van vooren, fox6 sports. Tim brandon and yours truly will have a lot more to show and tell on the blitz tonight at 10 35. Including the tandem of ted thompson and mike mccarthy. The vikings lost their 4th straight game. Thats the packers only saving grace. But. Questions abound on 1265 lombardi ave. Ted, mary. The law is clear cutfelons arent supposed to have guns. And if theyre caught with themthe punishment is suppose to be severe. The fox six investigators dug deepvery deep and found case after case after case where felons with guns were not punished. Tonight, hes asks the Milwaukee County District Attorney why not . A different type of thunder down under. A major earthquake in new zealand today why people braced for what checkits another to give your time. The dinner some Milwaukee Bucks had with our veterans when we go beyond a fox 6 investigation finds felons caught with guns often spend littl our story, one elected official says he plans to take action. Fox 6 investigator bryan polcyn shows you what this state lawmaker plans to do. And why he asked to see the data we spent eight months collecting. Milwaukee police rely heavily on Data Analysis to catch criminals. But if you want to know what happens to them after they get caught, well, the data trail quickly goes cold. Thats why our painstaking analysis of felons with firearms caught the attention of a milwaukee may have gone soft on crime. Every year, Milwaukee Police confiscate hundreds of guns from criminals who are not allowed to have them. Like 20yearold Demontae Robinson. At age 14, robinson was convicted of attempted armed robbery. A juvenile crime equivalent to a felony. Three years later, Milwaukee Police spotted him in a no handgun. They found even more guns in a house where he was staying. Prosecutors charged him with possession of a firearm by a delinquent. But four months later, they dismissed the case. I looked at it and i was like, why was this case dismissed . milwauk ee da John Chisholm says police began to doubt theyd arrested the right man. But there was also this. One of the officers involved was injured on the job. Seven days later, he was arrested for shooting a man multiple times near 38th and hampton. But prosecutors dropped the gun possession charge. And then a judge threw out the shooting case, when the state wasnt ready for trial. He got out because the speedy trial demand could not be met. Robinson is now facing charges in yet another shooting. That never couldve happened if hed been in prison in the first place. once we make an arrest, Something Else has to happen. And all too often, eight months, the fox 6 investigators compiled data from more than 3 thousand, 6hundred felon in possession cases in Milwaukee County. More than a third of the time, charges were never filed. Hundreds of others were charged, then dismissed. But even when felons are convicted of having guns. We found 20 percent serve less than a year in jail. And 75 percent serve less than three. It doesnt reflect a lack of didnt care about the cases we wouldnt charge them in the first place. Chisholm says caseloads are massive and gun cases can be complicated. But Milwaukee Police chief ed flynn is frustrated. in the past three years, weve arrested close to 200 people 2 or more times for being a felon in possession of firearms. people like joshua moore, convicted of possession of firearm by a felon in 2013. 2015. And again in theres a revolving door in our criminal Justice System thats allowing this to happen. When state assemblyman Joe Sanfelippo saw our investigation. He immediately asked to see the data wed collected. We have been searching for those very statistics and they just didnt exist. The owner of American United taxi is a toughoncrime republican. Who was already planning to introduce a series of crime bills in the next legislative session. Now, and all the work that you put into it, i think there should be a state audit of crime in our state and get these types of statistics from our Police Departments and our District Attorneys and our judges. We try to use data to make good decisions. Flynn says police are the only ones doing Data Analysis. The rest of the system is incapable of thinking strategically about crime and violence. Chisholm admits their recordkeeping system is not conducive to sophisticated data reporting. Maxine white says they arent equipped to do it either. I dont pretend to know how to make the judiciary work better. I dont. Im not a judge. But there must be some way . You know . And i just dont get the sense theres a lot of imagination. Last month, chief judge maxine white declined my request for an on camera interview, saying shed prefer to be part of a followup story. Since then, ive called twice asking to schedule that followup interview. She has yet to call back. Fingers. Its easy to say, oh, the judges arent sentencing tough enough, the das arent charging enough. but lets find the facts, like you were able to dig out. Sanfelippo believes a lenient criminal Justice System may be driving up violent crime. But he admits its just a theory. Unless theres data to back it up. I want to make sure we have the facts and the Data Available so that when were putting new laws on the books, theyre going to be effective laws. Milwaukee countys chief deputy District Attorney, kent loe like that of Demontae Robinson illustrate how important witnesses are to successful prosecutions. In both the gun possession case and his first shooting case, witness problems led to both cases being dismissed. Meanwhile, representative sanfelippo says he is intent on requesting a statewide audit of crime data. He also wants to create a state crime commission. He plans to float both ideas when the Legislature Reconvenes in january. You and the fox 6 investigators compile this data. Is there somewhere we can go to see the fruits of all that work . There is now. For the first time, we are publishing two files produced as a result of our Data Collection and analysis. The first includes information on more than 25hundred cases from 2011 through 2015. The second includes sentencing information for cases in 2016. You can view both files on the links page of u com or your fox six news mobile app. Coming up on fox 6 news at nine.
