INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter is calling for a review of the Marion County bond system.
Luis Leyba-Gonzalez, 19, was charged with three counts of resisting law enforcement resulting in death and three counts of reckless driving causing death for the incident. “We, not the court, have to explain to family members the circumstances in why the driver was released. We, not the court, deal with this firsthand every single day,” Carter said. “It was a failed system of justice.”Carter says the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office asked for a higher bond, but the request was denied by the presiding judge. He feels bond should be raised for all serious bodily injury crimes.
Carter also called for a staff study on the shortages at the Marion County jail and prosecutor’s office and feels citizens should be asked if they feel safe in a poll.
