5 time convicted felon, on ankle monitoring...shoots his cousin ............
Do not tell us that normal gun owners are a problem.....the individuals doing the gun crime are repeat offenders released....over and over again by democrat party judges and prosecutors......and democrat party politicians who pass these insane laws........laws that allow violent gun criminals, repeat offenders, to walk out of jail and prison over and over again...
Did you know that in Chicago, someone who escapes their ankle monitor isn't in trouble until they are gone 48 hours?
Authorities say a five-time convicted felon killed his own cousin on Monday evening and then fled from the home where he was supposed to stay on electronic monitoring for a pending felony case. They charged him with murder, but a prosecutor said that the state can’t charge him with escape because Illinois’ new criminal justice reform law decriminalized electronic monitoring violations of less than 48 hours.
Frederick Smith, 37, is — coincidentally — the 48th person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony.

He was also charged with murder in 2003...but that was plead down to involuntary manslaughter.......
Smith is charged with first-degree murder. He posted a $6,000 cash bond to get out of jail on electronic monitoring after he was charged with having nearly $6,000 worth of heroin, a scale, and $3,482 cash in his car during a traffic stop in November.
“We’re not charging the defendant with escape [from electronic monitoring] due to the change in the law in July,” Murphy told Judge Barbara Dawkins. “Even though there is video and [police surveillance] videos that show the defendant fleeing in an Alfa Romeo. That was less than 48 hours.”
Smith was charged with murder in 2003, but he was convicted of a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter and received a 12-year sentence. Since then, he was convicted of delivery of cocaine in 2009, aggravated unlawful restraint while armed in 2010, delivery of heroin in 2016, and fleeing and eluding in 2017, Murphy said.
