Special Guest: Ken W. Good

Texas attorney Ken W. Good (author of the industry bible Goods on Bail, longtime board member of the Professional Bondsman of Texas, and Supreme Court-argued litigator) joins Chris to rip the lid off America’s broken bail system.The case that hits hardest? Repeat violent felon Alfonso Taley — already facing multiple pending violent charges — was out on electronic monitoring despite every objection. He cut off his own GPS, stayed free, and ambushed and murdered Officer John Bartholomew.Ken explains exactly why this keeps happening: tens of thousands of unserved warrants, zero real supervision from the government, and a public pretrial system that simply can’t (and won’t) do the job.Private bail bondsmen? They guarantee appearance like an insurance policy. Miss court and they’re on the hook financially. They track defendants weekly via app, monitor GPS, call family, and actually hunt people down. Public agencies? Just hope and pray.New Jersey tried replacing private bondsmen with a government program. It bankrupted them twice and forced a statewide tax hike.Trump’s executive order calling to end non-cash bail? Ken says it’s exactly right.Raw, no-spin truth from a guy who’s been fighting this battle for decades.
