An outrageous travesty of justice occurred in Missouri recently that could cause millions of Americans to lose faith in the criminal justice system.
As KSHB reported on Wednesday, a radical judge ordered a deranged leftist credibly accused in federal court of firebombing two Tesla Cybertrucks and charging stations in Kansas City to be released from prison back on April 24.
United States Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges ruled that it was wrong to hold 19-year-old Owen McIntire behind bars before trial for his alleged crimes after agreeing with the defense’s desperate pleas for mercy.
FOX4 obtained court documents that revealed the defense’s reasons for releasing Owen McIntire from jail. Among the reasons listed are treatment for depression and ‘gender-affirming care.’
Yes, McIntire’s lawyers wanted him freed partly because the suspect wanted to continue his transition toward becoming a ‘female!’ And the judge ruled in their favor!
FOX 4 Kansas City reported:
According to federal court documents, McIntire’s attorney argued he should be released, citing several “serious and ongoing” medical needs and treatments that McIntire’s attorney believed could not or would not be provided while in federal detention.
The defense filing says McIntire is undergoing treatment for depression and is receiving gender affirming care that began in March of this year — and that care would likely be interrupted or terminated in federal custody.
McIntire’s attorney also cited his client’s lack of a criminal history and deep ties to the Kansas City area community as reasons he would not be a flight risk. He was arrested earlier this month in Boston.
According to KSHB, McIntire’s travel is limited only to the Western District of Missouri and Wyandotte and Johnson counties. In a just system, his travel would be restricted to behind prison walls.
The alleged crimes of McIntire occurred on March 17 at 11:16 p.m. at a car dealership at 10111 State Line Road, according to a court document obtained by KSHB.
The document states that McIntire used a ‘Molotov cocktail’ to commit his crimes. The devices were empty apple cider vinegar bottles filled with gasoline and dish towels.
Two Cybertrucks and two charging stations were damaged, even though one of the devices did not work.
KSHB reports that McIntire has been charged in federal court with malicious destruction of property and unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm. He is due back in the United States Federal Courthouse in Kansas City, Missouri, for a hearing at 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 1.
