MANHATTAN, NY — In another disgusting display of judicial activism, progressive judge Juan Merchan released a man convicted of 34 felonies right back onto the streets of New York.
Instead of handing out jail time, Merchan simply released the felon back into civil society, with no conditions whatsoever.
"The justice system is completely broken," said local man Roger Timmons. "You can arrest all the criminals you want, but if liberal judges are going to just release felons right back out to the streets, what are we even doing? All of these Soros-funded judges and District Attorneys are completely ruining America."
Despite calls from millions of Americans to jail the defendant in question, Judge Merchan simply let the perpetrator walk out of the door, no questions asked. "There were literally thousands of phone calls to the judge's office pleading for him to put this criminal behind bars, but to no avail," said legal aide Danielle Adair. "It is simply appalling to see how these activist judges are basically overruling the law and the will of the people."
At publishing time, Judge Merchan had been decried for granting the criminal work release to start a new job within just 10 days.
Gen Z keeps pulling up to new jobs, no cap. Here are their top qualifications.
