Did anyone else notice that Bivins was already prosecuted for third degree murder after killing a pregnant woman in 2020, but the DAO couldn't get the charges to stick due to incompetent prosecution?

Just another murder left on the street to kill again thanks to Krasner's incompetent prosecutors

I'm not sure where you read incompetent prosecution. I did read that the guy had his bail set at 1 mil and a judge reduced it to 170k.

He was found not guilty on most charges, including 3rd degree murder. He killed a pregnant woman while driving recklessly without a license and the DA couldn't get the 3rd degree murder charge to stick, how do you not read incompetence into that?

She survived, her baby did not.

I misunderstood the article then, thank you.

If they really tried to charge him with third-degree for that, it makes sense why it didn't stick. I feel lots of violent offenders escape jail time based on the prosecutor pursuing inaccurate or overly drastic charges that are much harder to prove.

He was also found guilty on multiple felonies and was awaiting sentencing, not sure where you're getting the idea he got off on all charges.

Why couldn't he get it to stick? You keep mentioning that it's because of incompetence, but where's the link talking about how the poor case of the prosecution caused his verdict, as opposed to some other reason.

He got off on a murder charge for killing the woman's unborn kid, not the woman. He was still convicted of some serious crimes and would have been doing multiple years in jail once he was sentenced.

If a DA that doesn't like throwing people in jail says a guy should not be allowed out on bail I'd tend to take their word for it, especially after said guy murders someone outside a school.

What I don't get is why he still hasn't been found. He is either hiding out, left the area, or dead.

If he is in hiding and is being helped, I can't wait for that person to get taken in, too.
