Controversial zero-bail policy takes effect in L.A. County

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:02:17 GMT

The new zero-bail policy takes effect in L.A. County on Sunday, despite the objections of many law enforcement and civic leaders who say the policy will undermine efforts to fight crime. The policy allows some criminal suspects accused of non-violent or non-serious crimes to be cited and released when they would have previously been held on bond. A decision was made in July by the Los Angeles County Superior Court to institute the system, arguing that cash bail discriminates against minorities and the poor.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Damar Hamlin’s objective to resume his playing career after a near-death experience in early January became complete on Sunday, when the Bills safety took the field as part of Buffalo’s kickoff return unit to open its game against the Miami Dolphins.The kickoff resulted in a touchback, but it marked a key milestone for Hamlin in appearing in his first regular- season game some nine months since going into cardiac arrest and needing to be resuscitated on the field during a game at Cincinnati. Hamlin also appeared on the Bills kickoff coverage team after Buffalo opened the scoring on Josh Allen’s 18-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis. Hamlin was a healthy scratch through the Bills first three games this season, and got the nod to play with starting safety Jordan Poyer sidelined by a knee injury. Primary backup Taylor Rapp is expected to fill Poyer’s spot alongside Micah Hyde, with the third-year player serving as a backup in facing a high-pow...
