I don't understand why administering criminal justice is so hard. There are unlimited stories like this, where a hardened criminal who is almost guaranteed to re-offend is released on low/no bail and then predictively murders someone.
On the flip side, there are plenty of stories of people who are arrested and held without bail after a SWAT assault on their home for a relatively minor offense.
Why is it so hard to calibrate use of force, bail, and sentences to the severity of the crime and the background of the offender? It's literally the entire point of the system.
