This 80 yr old grandma was senselessly stabbed to death by someone who was arrested 67 times, who should of never been on the streets in the first place. She told her family she only goes out during the day to try to make her safe from these criminals but with no bails these criminals don’t even care anymore.
I don’t think these people realize some of these crazies are institutionalized and don’t care if they’re jailed or not. They’re dysfunctional, crazy or their brains are fried. It’s home to them. There a big shot in jail and nothing out side of it they can’t function or no desire to but a useless eater so to speak so they don’t care. That alone makes them unpredictable and dangerous.
The son of a Houston grandmother who was fatally stabbed in 2020 by a suspect with an extensive criminal record and who was out on bond at the time is pressing to hold judges and the criminal justice system accountable for her death and that of others killed by criminal defendants released back onto the streets.
Rosalie Cook, 80, was walking to her car in a Walgreens parking lot just before 10 a.m. on May 16, 2020 after having purchased birthday cards when Randy Lewis pushed her to the ground and stabbed her to death. Lewis, 38, was shot and killed by police at the scene after having charged at an officer with a knife, police said.
At the time of the killing, Lewis, who had been arrested at least 67 times, was out on two felony personal recognizance (PR) bonds, which don’t require cash to get of jail but impose restrictions such as GPS monitoring or drug testing.
