It's the revolving door court system, not law enforcement. An arrest isn't a conviction. The courts will prosecute the hell out of a regular law abiding citizen that crosses the line, yet multi conviction felons are given probation and minimum sentences. Law enforcement just puts things in the hands of the court. The subject in this case should have invoked his rights, and talked to an attorney before the spontaneous confession. For the record, I can see why the guy did it, but he should have followed a different path to save a lot of headaches.You guys always ask me why I hate cops... The fact that he was arrested and will face a trial for doing the lords work.
This justice system can go **** itself right up the ass.
"Axtell was arraigned Friday and is being held in the Cook County jail on $1 million bond despite objections from his lawyer, Dennis Shaw.
Shaw noted Axtell had no serious criminal history until now, and his longtime ties to Grand Marais made him a minimal flight risk.
Axtell was convicted of misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and underage drinking in 2014, according to criminal records.
He remains in jail awaiting his next court appearance, which is scheduled for April 10."
