The man charged with killing a mother and daughter leaving a concert in downtown St. Louis is out on bond. 22-year-old Monte Henderson was released Friday. Henderson's bond was $200,000, but a judge allowed him to post 10% of that cash only. Just 24 hours prior, Henderson was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of armed criminal action. Henderson's attorney shared this statement following the charges, "This is a very tragic accident, Monte is very upstanding young man; involved in academics and sports." Officers said Henderson was running red lights when he sideswiped the front end of another vehicle at North 18th and Olive streets. His Jeep rotated clockwise and hit Bracero and Cordova, who were walking on the crosswalk. The Jeep continued to move until it T-boned another vehicle. According to court documents, data retrieved from the Jeep indicated that the car was traveling at speeds in excess of 70 mph prior to violating the red traffic signal. ksdk.com/article/news/l…
@wolfhatfacts That’s only three seconds yet it’s one of the most devastating video clips I’ve ever seen. Horrible. How can a judge release this dude? The judicial system is broken. It’s not logical. It doesn’t protect the average citizen.
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts The judicial system has been broken for a very long time. Perhaps it was just broken in a direction that affected people not of your ilk. The fact remains, the system has to go. The people build anew.
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts It’s a travesty. Was the judge influenced by his ethnicity ? Did she give a similar verdict to a person of another ethnicity ? Would be interesting to know. Anybody who runs a red light at 90 miles per hour is not “an upstanding citizen.”
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts Its the "criminal justice system"....justice for the criminal, NOT for the victim....If it's any consolation for the families of those women, they were killed instantly....the driver needs to be put in prison for life w/o the possibility of parole....he took 2 lives.
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts It’s not supposed to protect average citizens it’s supposed to maintain a civil society. In this new society as long as people keep paying their taxes it doesn’t matter how many die.
Yes I am thoroughly convinced that too many of our judges, lawyers, government officials, law enforcers, bureaucrat officials, high ranking military, Congressional members pledge allegiance to their Brotherhood rather than their Creator or their country. I also believe that 2000 mules really happened. How crazy can one woman be? As crazy as a global Brotherhood? Probably not, her allegiance is to TRUTH.
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts They say it's the norm to release before trial. But we used to have speedier trials. We should reevaluate now that typical pretrial lasts years.
@Joe__Ram @wolfhatfacts We all know why. Some black people think that other black people are free to commit whatever crime they want. They get an automatic pass just because they are black. We have all seen post after post of black people making excuses for other's bad behavior.
