Should lenient judges be held accountable?

The suspect in the Waukesha multiple homicide by vehicle is an individual with a lengthy rap sheet of violent crimes and currently out on a $500 bond for his latest when he committed his horrific deed. I'm wondering whether lenient liberal judges that go easy on these repeat violent offenders and let them back out on the street should be held accountable in some way when the person they went easy on commits their next violent crime?

Well, they're lining up to let this deranged killer out on bail... again.
Hey, it's coming on Christmas - there is sure to be more parades of children soon... .

What about the prosecutor that recommends a low bail amount? The judge is just going along with what the prosecutor recommends. Face it, as long as judges, prosecutors, and SUCCESSFUL criminal defense attorneys live in virtually inaccessible gated communities, it ain't never gonna change. Until politicians and elected officials (and their kids) start to live in our world, you're just fooling yourself.

Austin, Texas DA Juan Garza turned Roberto Rangel, 52, loose after his sixth DWI.
He promptly had a seventh DWI - and killed two people.

Fox 7 Austin reported that Rangel's charge was reduced to DWI a few months after his arrest, and his bond was reduced from $100,000 to $10,000 before he was released. Additionally, Rangel's bond conditions were eased earlier this year, and his portable alcohol monitor was removed.

Roberto Rangel, 52, was arrested last year in Travis County, Texas, for his 7th DUI that resulted in the deaths of 22-year-old Kate Garcia and 23-year-old Mark Narvaez, Fox 7 Austin reported.

Rangel, who has been sentenced to over 14 years in prison for DUIs dating to 1989, reportedly pulled out of a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Austin at 2:45 a.m. and parked his car sideways in the road.

A motorcycle crashed into the parked vehicle, killing Narvaez and Garcia. Rangel was reportedly too intoxicated to participate in a sobriety test at the scene.

News of Rangel's release sparked intense criticism from Austin locals who say they are fed up with Garza's progressive agenda... .
