Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) announced on Sunday that he is going to introduce legislation to hold soft-on-crime judges accountable if they release a violent criminal back to the street and the criminal commits more crimes.
The proposed legislation would “hold judges accountable when violent repeat offenders they release commit new crimes,” he said.

A better solution is to not appoint, elect, or reappoint soft-on-crime state judges and magistrates, like the soft-on-crime left-wing magistrate who released Decarlos Brown without bail, and to pass laws requiring bail or pretrial detention when appropriate.]
