LeMarcus Martin

LeMarcus Martin

21-year-old LeMarcus Raekown Martin, a suspect in the shooting of a man near China Creek during the theft of marijuana made bail today. According to Lt. Kenny Swithenbank of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, Martin posted $100,000 bail and is out of jail today.

On August 6, three men stole marijuana during the course of a deal in the China Creek area of Southern Humboldt. The victim attempted to stop them and was shot receiving what the Sheriff’s Department called “life-threatening wounds.”

Martin was expected to have a bail of $500,000 but Lt. Swithenbank said that today he was released with the much lower bail amount.

Equal Justice Under Law
Our Mission

Ending the American Money Bail System
Fighting Abusive Private Probation Practices
Protecting the Rights of Drivers Who Are Poor

Ending the American Money Bail System
No one should spend time in jail simply because he or she is poor, but every day about 450,000 Americans sit in jail for that very reason.

Despite the constitutional guarantee that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, our current money bail system forces arrestees to pay an arbitrary amount of bail money to secure release before trial. Those who can afford to purchase their liberty walk free, while those who can’t languish in jail pending trial. The result is discriminatory pretrial detention based on wealth-status, not any meaningful assessment of flight risk or danger to the community.

Equal Justice Under Law is dedicated to ending this discriminatory practice by filing class action lawsuits against money bail systems all across the country.

The Story of One of Our Clients, Crystal Patterson
In October 2015, Crystal Patterson — then 29-years old — was arrested for the first time in her life after a physical fight with her brother-in-law. She works hard at a low-wage job to provide for herself and her 80-year-old grandmother (for whom she is the sole caretaker). After Crystal’s arrest, she was booked in the county jail and told she could be released if she paid $150,000 — money neither she nor her family has.

The poorer you are in San Francisco, the worse the system treats you. A wealthy individual facing Crystal’s exact same charges could simply purchase his or her freedom. In fact, for the rich, the cost is zero, because the full $150,000 is returned when the case ends. For poorer individuals, private bail companies require a non-refundable payment of 10% — $15,000 in Crystal’s case — and poor arrestees never see that money again (it’s more expensive to be poor, as the cruel saying goes). For those living on the brink of poverty, like Crystal, private bail companies offer a predatory option: Crystal could pay 1% of the bail amount — or $1,500 — and sign a debt agreement to finance the balance of the $15,000 at the maximum interest rate allowable by law. Desperate to take care of her grandmother, Crystal scraped together $1,500. After 31 hours in jail, she signed the debt agreement and went home.

Just hours after Crystal left the jail, the district attorney looked at her file and decided there wasn’t enough evidence to file charges. Crystal was never charged with a crime; she never had a single court date; she has no case against her. And yet, she will be paying off the balance of her $15,000 debt — with interest — for years and years to come. For someone with no criminal charges and only doing her best to care for herself and her grandmother, injustices like this must end.

Equal Justice Under Law is proud to represent Crystal Patterson and others like her as we fight to bring an end to America’s discriminatory money bail practice.

A Societal Problem
Wealth-based detention has disastrous consequences: overcrowding of local jails, lost jobs, lost housing, poor sanitation and medical care, broken families, and drained local budgets. In many cases, an arrestee may be held longer in jail while awaiting trial than any sentence she or he would likely receive if convicted, causing innocent people to plead guilty to offenses that they did not commit in order to shorten lengthy pretrial detention. Individuals who are detained are not able to assist their attorneys in the investigation of the charges against them, resulting in wrongful convictions and longer sentences.

As the U.S. Department of Justice said in an amicus brief filed in our money bail case in Alabama, Varden v. City of Clanton:

It is the position of the United States that, as courts have long recognized, any bail or bond scheme that mandates payment of pre-fixed amounts for different offenses in order to gain pre-trial release, without any regard for indigence, not only violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, but also constitutes bad public policy.

Solving the Problem
Equal Justice Under Law is fighting hard to bring this discriminatory system to an end by bringing legal challenges all across the country, calling money bail unconstitutional because it creates two separate systems of justice, one for the rich and another for people who are poor.

Since early 2015, we have filed 12 challenges against money bail in 9 states:

Alabama
California
Georgia
Kansas
Louisiana
Massachusetts
Mississippi
Missouri
Texas
Thus far, these lawsuits have brought an end to money bail in 7 communities:

Clanton, Alabama
Velda City, Missouri
Ann, Missouri
Moss Point, Mississippi
Dothan, Alabama
Ascension Parish, Louisiana
Dodge City, Kansas
Five lawsuits that we have filed are still moving forward against money bail, including two cases currently in federal courts of appeals in California.

In our case Welchen v. County of Sacramento, the judge has ruled that the California Attorney General can be held responsible for her role in implementing money bail. A victory in this case against the Attorney General could have ripple effects across the state and the nation because it will set an important precedent for state officials’ liability.

In our case Buffin v. San Francisco, Sheriff Vicky Hennessy, in a filing written by City Attorney Dennis Herrera on November 1, 2016, made an historic statement that she will not defend money bail in court because:

This two-tiered system of pretrial justice does not serve the interests of the government or the public, and unfairly discriminates against the poor.

Our work is also inspiring potential policy changes at the federal and state levels. We have worked closely with Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA), who in February 2016 introduced the No Money Bail Act, which would help end the money bail system across the nation. We are an endorser of the bill and continue to work closely as it progresses through the Congress. Also, in direct reaction to our work, in December of 2016, California Assemblymember Rob Bonta and Senator Bob Hertzberg unveiled a bill to reform the state’s system saying, “California’s bail system punishes poor people simply for being poor.”

Equal Justice Under Law will continue to work hard to end the everyday jailing of hundreds of thousands of Americans solely because of their poverty.

Cash Bail Business

Lawyers and legal experts say the rules on how high that monetary amount is set vary by city and county, often allowing courts to keep people in jail based on their inability to pay their fees.

“We have to make the criminal justice system more just,” Bonta said. “When you have a system that is making decisions simply and solely based on a person’s wealth, something is fundamentally wrong and that is simply not acceptable.”

Bail reform legislation has failed in California in the past, often because of tough opposition from bondsman companies that argue the current system allows defendants access to their civil liberties.

But lawmakers said they could point to successful reforms in Washington D.C., Kentucky and New Jersey. And they have studied jurisdictions within the state that have developed “risk-assessment” models, which allow court and pretrial staff to use data and other evidence to determine whether a person should be released.

Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) said Republicans are suggesting interest in reform. “Now you have a whole host of groups on both sides of the aisle looking at the cost and fairness of the system,” he said.

Modernization of the pretrial system is urgently needed in California, which relies on pretrial detention at much higher rates than other states, according to the bills to be filed Monday. About 63% of people in state jails, or 46,000 inmates, had not been sentenced in 2015, according to the Board of State and Community Corrections.

That comes at a housing cost to the state of roughly $100 per inmate per day in most counties, or roughly $4.6 million a day.

It also placed an expensive burden on families. When people cannot afford to pay for their release, they can lose their housing, lawyers and reform advocates said. Even three days in jail can result in a loss of wages, jobs and family connections, leaving some defendants 40% more likely to commit crime in the future, studies show.

“The problem we see with money bail is that it is a price tag on freedom,” said Phil Telfeyan, executive director of Equal Justice Under Law, which filed the legal challenges over bail reform in California. “Those who are rich get to pay their way out and those who aren’t have to languish in jail.”

If you bothered to read about all the court cases here and the revolving door that many criminals experience here in HumCo, you might understand why people here want to see higher bail and are tired of the new, lower misdemeanor charges for what used to be felony charges….
You can cite various people who have suffered from the current bail system but you haven’t mentioned the problems caused by the new algorithm being used in New Jersey.
The entire system needs to be re-examined but taking away a bail system that makes people prove they’ll come back to stand trial leaves the victims of crime asking why the victims are punished and suffer more than those who broke the law.

You can be very righteous when defending the people who have suffered from the bail trap but surely equal time should be spent pursuing those who charge people for crimes so that those who are charged are not innocent. The justice system in California is unbalanced in many ways, and bail is just one of them. You see the high profile cases. Here, the stories are about people we know or people who might be like people we know. Most of them don’t have deep pockets either and when something is stolen from them, when their homes are broken into, a car taken, assaulted, whatever the crime, it’s real and personal to them and they want justice too. They want to see the person charged for the crime made to pay and not let go on an OR or for very low bail. If you saw the number of people arrested in this county (and others nearby) who were found to have a bench warrant outstanding for failure to appear, you’d see things differently also.

And if you would rethink, re-see your staunch support for the no bail initiative, then you lack compassion for the people who need it the most. They are the victims but they are being punished as if they were the ones who committed the crimes.

Don’t try to market your kinder-gentler-more progressive approach to how those accused of crimes should be treated. Or not until you’ve come up here and met with some of the victims who think you and your program are full of ____.

So if the Bail was set at $500,000 and he was rich he would still make bail, bail on an accused crime, one he has not been found guilty of….
So we have a system in Humboldt where the rich can “buy bail and freedom” and the poor who can not post bail, accused of the same crime are to sit in a cell for an accused crime, seems a little unfair to the poorer citizens to me!

The purpose of bail is to ensure the person shows up for trial. Has there been any studies of who runs and who doesn’t?

I can remember things like work, ties to the community, etc being. used to set bail levels. Maybe a poor person with a good local history gets released without having to pay bail at all. Maybe a richer person has assets here that would make him unwilling to leave. If a person is poor but has a history of crime and running, maybe a high bail is appropriate. If a rich person has lots of assets outside the country, maybe a huge bail level will help reduce the expense to the state of finding and bringing him back.

It’s nonsense to eliminate all bail requirements but maybe the whole system needs a readjustment to scrape away the accumulated injustices that have accumulated in our too busy and too lucrative to lawyers justice system.

Especially “Jeez” if by “African” you mean the person i saw walking along Mattole Rd. yesterday. An extremely dark person wearing an extremely white head scarf/shawl. Interesting looking, but certainly nothing like the sorts of urban american gang-bangers i see wanted by LE around here lately.

That is, the thought that this person’s race connected him/her with a crime like the one involved in this post is ridiculous. Worlds apart, at least from appearances. And appearances are all that would have prompted someone to call the Sheriff’s Office on a traveller.

The bail bonds folks will be after him sooner than the county if the wannabe rapper disappears having paid the bondsman $10,000. The bondsman posted the full $100,000.

The county never receives payment unless way down the line they submit a warrant bond to the bail bondsman for full payment…. . Such a scam, and discriminatory for the guy who doesn’t have the full $100,000, he loses the $10k no matter what, unless he has $100k in the bank…..
