Murder suspect Willie Devon James is missing. He was scheduled for trial this week in Charlotte. He is accused of first-degree murder. The murder occurred in February 2018.

Foolishly, James was placed on bond in June 2018 and ordered to wear an ankle monitor. This week, James cut off the monitor and remains at large.

The Charlotte Police report that one fourth of defendants wearing monitors commit another crime while wearing the devices and 127 suspects cut off their devices in 2019.

Social justice and court reform groups have pressured the legal system for more lenient treatment of criminals. Murder suspects being released wearing ankle monitors is madness, and a danger to the community.
