released from custody after a new state law went into effect abolishing
cash bail.
Esmeralda Aguilar, 24, a resident of the Chicago suburb of Cicero, is
charged with four counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer over
the incident that allegedly occurred over the weekend.
Aguilar was arrested moments after the alleged attack in the downtown
area. However, she was released Monday, the same day the Pretrial
Fairness Act, which is part of the SAFE-T Act, went into effect.
"Reports that on the very first day of no cash bail, a violent offender
arrested for attacking four Chicago Police Officers, sending two of them
to the hospital, was immediately released because the Cook County
State's Attorney's Office didn't even bother to file a motion to seek
detaining the accused are problematic," Illinois state Sen. John
Curran, said in a statement to FOX Chicago.
"This highlights the misplaced priorities of Illinois' criminal justice
system when the prosecutor prioritizes the freedom of a violent offender
over the safety of those police officers dedicated to protecting and
serving our communities," Curran added.
The Cook County State's Attorney's office told Fox News Digital it could
not comment on Aguilar's case. Fox News Digital also reached out to the
Chicago Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police.
Under the new law, a judge can hold someone in jail if they are believed
to pose a risk to the community. If they don't pose a danger or flight
risk, they are released without having to post cash bail.
Supporters of the law contend cash bail punishes low-income defendants
simply for being too poor to get out of jail. Critics said the new law
could result in the release of dangerous criminals back onto the streets
as cities like Chicago continue to experience violent crime.
"I can assure you that the Cook County State's Attorney office stands
ready to implement the Pre-Trial Fairness Act." Cook County State's
Attorney Kim Foxx posted to social media Monday. "This effort to detain
those who pose a real threat to our public rather than detain those who
are simply poor is the right thing to do."
In a statement, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle called the
end of cash bail a "milestone on the path toward economic and racial
justice in Cook County and Illinois."
Aguilar's next court date is scheduled for Sept. 25.
