Janesville Police Chief supports change in how cash bail is determined

Janesville Police Chief David Moore is happy voters will decide whether to change the Wisconsin State constitution when it comes to how judges set cash bail.
Moore supports the amendment which would allow judges to look at the totality of circumstances when setting cash bail.
Moore says right now, the only thing a judge can consider when setting bail, is the likelihood of the defendant to show up for future court proceedings.
The amendment passed the State Senate on Tuesday, and the Assembly Thursday. It will now go before voters on April 4th.
