Dog the Bounty Hunter says Gov. Christie should “be ashamed of himself.”
Duane Chapman, better known as “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” is joining a federal lawsuit against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, alleging the governor’s new bail reform initiative allowed for the fatal shooting of a man.
At a press conference Monday with the victim’s mother, Chapman slammed Christie, calling the bail reform initiative “fake” and “dangerous,” according reports.
Christian Rodgers, 28, was shot to death in April, according to police. Jules Black, 30, has been charged with his murder. Chapman says Christie’s overhaul of the bail system allowed Black to walk free after he was arrested on felony gun charges.
“Christie should be ashamed of himself,” Chapman said. “The governor needs to know that the eyes of every American who loves their family and wants to preserve law and order are on him right now.”
Cash bails were eliminated under the new reform law, and judges now use a risk assessment system to decide whether to release defendants from jail. The suspect’s criminal history as well as evidence at hand are taken into consideration when determining whether they’ll be released.
