The Shelby County District Attorney General (DA) will appeal two recent decisions by a lower court judge to release multiple shooting suspects without bond. The DA’s office is challenging decisions by Shelby County General Sessions Criminal Court Judge Bill Anderson, who allowed suspects involved in multiple shootings to be released on their own recognizance. Among them is a man who engaged in a nearly 12-hour standoff with police earlier this month, as well as three suspects charged in the shooting of a FedEx employee last month. According to the Daily Memphian, the appeal follows a series of headlines in recent months over bail decisions by Anderson, particularly in cases involving violent crimes.
