On March 29, police in Chicago, Illinois chased 13-year old Adam Toledo down an alley and shot him, killing the unarmed seventh grader as he raised his hands. The recently released body camera footage shows police demanding that the young boy show them his hands. When he does, the cops fired.
This murder comes at a time when demanding justice for police-perpetuated killings is at an all-time high, with the murder trial of Derek Chauvin ongoing in Minneapolis, and the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by Officer Kim Porter just days ago.
In a press conference on April 2, Toledo s mother, who was not aware her son was killed until two days after the shooting, demanded answers from the Chicago Police Department. They had a lot of options, she told reporters while visibly emotional, indicating that officers could have shot him in his legs, his arms…I don t know, but not kill my baby.
For thousands of Wisconsin defendants accused of crimes, they need to put up cash to get out of jail.
When defendants â even ones facing serious charges with massive bail in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars â have money or community support, getting out from behind bars can take just days or weeks.
But for those facing bail bonds of only a couple hundred dollars who donât have support or deep bank accounts, they can languish in jail for months, sometimes taking deals that donât serve them well in the long term simply because they want to end the court process, because they want to stop waiting, to get back home or go to prison quicker, to get out.
New no cash bail law provides hope for those in Chicago who ve been unable to pay

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: Most people in the U.S. who are being held in jail have not been convicted of a crime. Instead, they are awaiting trial. For some, that wait can take weeks or even years if they can t afford to pay a cash bail to be released. That practice is controversial. While a few states have taken steps to change their cash bail system, Illinois will become the first to ditch it entirely. NPR s Cheryl Corley reports.
CHERYL CORLEY, BYLINE: Critics of cash bail have a name for it. They call it the poor people s tax, leaving those who can t come up with the money for bail stuck in jail while they wait for their case to be heard. Fifty-seven-year-old Flonard Wrencher says he knows all about that.
