Facing 11 Possible Charges, King Jorrel Peterson Is Free Without Bail...

Stock photo taken from my back yard a couple days ago, blog post by John Hoff

Looking through the jail roster, far too often I will see things that make me think "Something is very wrong with our justice system." Saturday (day before yesterday) was one of those days. King Jorrel Peterson, DOB 10/03/86, faces ELEVEN possible charges.

I can't remember the last time I saw that many individual charges listed on the roster. Not on MNCIS, mind you, (I see that many charges or more all the time on MNCIS) but on the jailhouse roster. Despite facing so many charges, this guy was released on NO BAIL...

Here, check out the acreage this guy occupied on the roster. I copied the whole thing on Saturday.

Peterson reportedly lives at 2900 Newton Ave. N., a homestead owned by Jeralynn D. Nolen.

Naturally, this guy has a rap sheet as long as grass growing on the lawn of a Mahmoud Khan rental, as follows.

Reading something like this I have to wonder who is the judge who allowed this guy to go without bail? And when is that judge up for election?
