Some criminals - even violent ones - released without ever seeing judge under new Marion County rule

New rules in Marion County are allowing criminals – even violent ones – to be released on bond before they even step foot in front of a judge. The five-page document from the Marion County Superior Court lays out the bond amounts for felony and misdemeanor charges. In the past, a judge would hear the initial case and charges before determining bail amount – but these new rules remove that process altogether.
