Career Criminal Thanks New York Democrats for Law Freeing Him After 139th Arrest

A career criminal is thanking New York Democrats for their passage of a bail reform law that has set him free the day after his 139th arrest.

Charles Barry, 56-years-old, was freed from jail after his arraignment in New York City this weekend in accordance with a state bail reform law that almost immediately sets free from jail suspects arrested for a host of crimes, including second-degree manslaughter, aggravated vehicular assault, third-degree assault, promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, criminally negligent homicide, or aggravated vehicular homicide.
