Contributing sentiments towards policy:
43% : Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, writing for the majority, argued in her ruling Tuesday that the Illinois state constitution "does not mandate that monetary bail is the only means to ensure criminal defendants appear for trials or the only means to protect the public," but that it "creates a balance between the individual rights of defendants and the individual rights of crime victims."39% : Under the new law, criminal defendants will not have to pay a specific amount to be released from jail as they await trial.
31% : "While no person should be held in jail or let free because of their economic circumstances, the SAFE-T Act handcuffs law enforcement and judges making it more difficult for them to combat violent crime," Curran said in a statement.
