Judge who released accused murderer sought to 'see through the law,' rule 'based on who person is'
Alexandria Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins released accused rapist Ibrahim Bouaichi from prison in April due to the risk of coronavirus exposure, despite the objections of a local prosecutor. Police say that after his release the suspect went on to murder the woman who had accused him of rape and testified against him in court.
