Judge Janice Niemi has a reputation for treating criminals with leniency in beil decisions. This was certainly true in case of Derrick Jones. In May1998, say prosicutors, Jones thratened to kill the mother of his girlfriend. Charged with falony harassment, prosecutors requested $75,000 bail, meaning Jones would have to pay the full amount,to be released. Jones, a known gang member, had already been convicted in five felonies, three of which were violent offences, including episode when he hit a former girlfriend. He had numerous arrest warrents. Judge Niemi ignored prosecutors and instead set bail to $5000 bond. Jones was freed. Less than a month later police arrested him for unlawfull possession of a firearm after yet another girl accused him at threatening to kill her and her family. In September Jones failed to appear for a trial on gun chardges. Early on the morning of January10, 1999 commited murder of two girls. Police arrested Jones and charged him with the killings. The Seattle Times wrote,“ Niemi’s bad desisions helped cost the sisters their lives.”
