You watch the news. Another murder. Another violent assault. The person had a record. They were out pending other violent cases on a non-monetary bond.
You ask yourself why.
Here’s your why.
It’s not the magistrates. They get overruled.
Allegheny County Pretrial Services does the risk assessment and recommends release. Their "recommendations" put people facing terroristic threats, stalking, aggravated assault, and child endangerment back on the street with no cash bond.
Matthew Darby was one of them. He murdered Alina Sheykhet.
Elijah Hemingway was one of them. Dr. Idris Evans was murdered.
Tyler Scott Mason was one of them. He killed 3-year-old Aiden Lombardi.
Why keep recommending release on serious violent charges?
Because the incentives were paid for.
$5.504 million from the MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge:
2018 — $2,000,000
2020/2021 — $2,000,000
2022 — $1,170,000
2024 — $334,000
The goal was jail population reduction.
What did the money buy?
Not the people doing the work.
Staff stayed in the $30,000s until year 10. Top pay only hit after a decade.
I bought chairs, keyboards, and other supplies for the entire office out of my own pocket when things broke. I cleaned the place myself.
And what did I get in return? Investigators who had bought into the system talking shit about me behind my back.
Yellow water poured through the ceiling from the men's showers above. I was forced to move desks and cover equipment with plastic, getting soaked myself in the process. Our bosses refused to deal with it or have it fixed.
It kept happening.
The grants paid for population targets and policy changes.
They did not pay for the office or the staff inside it.
The magistrates take the blame.
Pretrial stays invisible.
That has to change.
Please share.

Well, well, well
Rep. Ro Khanna sold $NVDA right before Nvidia's CEO admitted to having a Chinese spy side piece
He's a member of the following:
- Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party Committee
- Taiwan Caucus
- High Tech Caucus
Apparently, federal agents informed some lawmakers last year that Jensen Huang might be the target of a foreign intelligence operation
He avoided a ~26% dip
Thank you @Chewy

This is Alina Sheykhet. She was 20 years old.
Matthew Darby was brought into the Allegheny County Jail on a criminal trespass charge after breaking into her apartment.
He refused to cooperate with my coworker. Cocky. Arrogant. Defiant.
I saw he had a pending rape case out of another county. I couldn’t see the victim’s name. I needed to know if it was the same woman.
I called Allegheny County 911. They transferred me to Indiana County 911. A sergeant from the department that arrested him for the rape called me back.
He was in his cruiser and told me he didn’t have the information with him. He said he would turn around, go back to the station, pull the file, and call me right back.
And he did.
When he called back, he asked for the name of my victim.
I told him Alina Sheykhet.
“Different girl,” he said.
Then he added, “He really gets around.”
I told him I knew that — and that I was going to try to stop it.
I called my supervisor. She was also the manager responsible for the jail population numbers.
Let me explain why that matters.
We worked for the criminal courts. We did not run the Allegheny County Jail. Managing the jail population should have been the responsibility of county jail leadership, not someone in the very Pretrial Services office receiving grant money to reduce that population.
The same office pushing to release defendants was responsible for tracking the numbers used to measure the success of those efforts.
That is a glaring conflict of interest. And to me, it screams corruption.
I told my supervisor everything. Pending rape case. Refusing to cooperate. No idea where he would go if released.
I told her he doesn’t like women telling him no.
I asked for an override. I did not want this man released on a non-monetary bond.
She declined it.
I documented the declined override that night. I still have the screenshot.
I also told my coworkers out loud:
He will kill her if he gets out.
Thirteen days later, my coworker messaged me a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story.
Police were looking for the ex-boyfriend of a slain Pitt student.
It was Alina.
He had gone back to her apartment and beaten her to death.
Her father found her.
I said he would kill her.
I warned them. I asked them not to release him. I documented the warning.
We released him anyway.
The money was more important.
Alina Sheykhet was just starting her life.
We helped facilitate Matthew Darby ending it.

Grateful to @DanaPerino, @BillHemmer, @AmericaNewsroom and @FoxNews for the time this morning.
A Pittsburgh pediatrician is dead. The man charged in his killing was already free on a non-monetary bond in another case when police allege he broke into the doctor’s home, killed him, critically injured his wife, and forced their two small children—who were asleep inside—to flee. (Fox News)
I spent 14.5 years inside Allegheny County Pretrial. I wrote the recommendations. After the grant money came in, release became the mandate.
This was not one bad call.
It was policy.

THEY GOT PAID TO RELEASE HIM.
Elijah Hemingway had a rap sheet that included rape, robbery, battery on law enforcement, and a prior homicide charge. He was still out on a no-cash bond when police say he stabbed Pittsburgh pediatrician Dr. Evans to death in his own bed. His wife was critically wounded, and their kids had to run to a neighbor's house to escape.
Now a retired pretrial investigator says her office took millions in grant money that depended on shrinking the jail population. To get it, they stopped counting prior convictions, missed court dates, and pending cases against defendants. Some violent offenders were back in custody within 45 minutes of walking out.
That isn't criminal justice reform. It's a pay-to-release scheme, and a good doctor is dead because of it. Put violent criminals in prison and keep them there.

🚨 Inside the Largest Government Funded Human Trafficking Ring in History: Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars.
One NGO received $895 million to traffic children across the US. Others got $100+ million, and NGOs in areas like Tucson, Arizona pocketed millions but now receive nothing since the border shut down.
In this video we break down the contracts, speak with former Border Patrol, and confront the NGOs. It’s a must watch, like it and share it. Make sure no one forgets the hundreds of children lost in the government’s hands.

On "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"
If godly people refuse to vote for the LESSER of 2 evils, godless people will vote to ensure you, your children, and your grandchildren get the GREATER of 2 evils.
NEWSFLASH: You will be voting for a "lesser of two evils" until Jesus returns.
Wise Christians can differentiate between a FALLEN candidate and an EVIL candidate.
FALLEN CANDIDATE: Has personal sin in his / her life.
EVIL CANDIDATE: Leads entire communities, states, and nations to sin.

Driving home from Nashville a few days ago, the wife wanted to stop in Franklin to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Obedient to her wishes as I am, I make the detour and park. As we strolled along the square, I see an older man sitting alone on a bench. Being the sort who initiates conversation with strangers, I say jokingly:
“You look like a man who is waiting for his wife while she spends his money.”
He gives me a wan smile and replies: “I wish I was.” His voice cracks. “She passed away last November.”
We stop. I extend a sympathetic hand. He shakes it and rises to greet us. Lauri asks him about his wife, and he tells us what a wonderful woman she was and of their 50 years of marriage. His eyes welling with tears, he says he comes to the square and sits on that bench daily to reminisce about her because it was their spot for decades. He seems glad to have someone, even strangers, with whom he can talk.
We chat a bit longer, exchange numbers, and I ask him if we can pray for him. A believer, he readily accepts the offer. So, right there on the square in Franklin we pray for the Lord’s comforting presence and peace in his loss. We open our eyes and, at that very moment, a woman walks by hurriedly and reaches for the bench behind this fellow. Only I see it, and I think she might be stealing his phone which he had left on the bench when he rose to speak with us.
I walk to the bench to investigate and see that she’s left a card, a little plastic dove glued on it, proclaiming the hope of John 3:16. I look up to see her far down the sidewalk, her brisk pace undiminished, placing them everywhere in her own evangelistic endeavor. God bless her for it.
Lauri and I wished our new friend well and proceeded to shop. I bought a new vest at her encouragement — “It looks good on you” — and she bought some aromatic candles — “cinnamon vanilla.” But all the while we were thinking of this man and the seemingly coincidental nature of our meeting. The Lord had used us to visibly encourage him.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had such encounters simply because I spoke to a stranger: a taxi driver who told me someone had murdered his daughter; a waitress who cried when I told her she was doing a good job; a contractor who, just last week, revealed to me how the Lord had delivered him from meth addiction when I was sharing the Gospel with him; and a young woman who looked unsettled and I simply asked her what troubled her so.
There are people all around you who carry secret burdens, and the Lord puts you in their path for a reason. Do you notice them? Or do you press on to “more important” things? Pray that the Lord gives you eyes to see them and the heart to minister to them. It will do you as much good as you do them.
