The sheriff’s office estimates between 180 and 200 defendants were released but KPRC 2 is still working to get a final number.
“You can try to sugar coat things or whatever but the bottom line is it’s a huge embarrassment and that’s reality,” said Andy Kahan, victim services director for Crime Stoppers of Houston.
“That person basically said ‘Hey, we just cut loose close to 300 people because they weren’t given their probable cause hearings in due time,’” Kahan said. The sheriff’s office said most were Class B type misdemeanors and the defendants released will be re-arrested through a warrant.
