Hochul’s Bail Reform Claims Another Victim: Mother Killed in Front of Three Children Hours after Husband Freed on No Bail
It is not surprising that Republican Lee Zeldin has the lead over crazy Kathy Hochul in the latest Trafalgar poll for New York Governor.
Hochul is a disaster for New York and her misguided and failed
no-bail “Less is More” act signed into law in 2021 has led to yet
another violent crime and this time, the death of a mother of three in
front of her children.
The Less is More Act gives more leniency to parolees and removes reasons to put parolees back behind bars. According the the New York Post,
“It removes technical parole violations like being late for an
appointment, missing a curfew or finding alcohol or drugs in urine
samples. And the act would speed up the timeframe to judicial review for
any violations.”
In this recent incident, a suspect was arrested after the beating of
his estranged wife, a mother of three, was caught on camera and posted
to her Facebook. The suspect was released on no bail and, less than 24
hours later, gunned the mother down in front of her children.
The New York Post reports:
A mom of three was executed in front of her kids less than 24 hours after her estranged husband was sprung from jail on no bail over a caught-on-camera beatdown she’d posted to her Facebook page in a desperate plea for help.
The shocking case — in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s western New York hometown
— has sparked fresh outrage to New York’s no-cash-bail laws and to the
governor and fellow Democrats for refusing to repeal them.
Adam Bennefield, 45, who has a prior conviction for kidnapping
another ex at gunpoint, is now charged with shooting dead his
30-year-old wife, Keaira Bennefield.
The victim was taking her young children — ages 6 months to 9 years —
to school on the morning of Oct. 5, when he ambushed her on a road and
gunned her down, authorities said.
Bennefield was free to carry out the alleged murder after being
released from custody a day earlier on only misdemeanor charges despite
the horrific attack on his wife inside her home.
Tragic Keaira Bennefield had shared the sick footage of
Bennefield allegedly punching, kicking and slapping her on Facebook in a
cry for help less than a week before she was murdered.
Now, in the weeks since the grim slaying questions have continued to
mount as to whether more could have been done to prevent Keaira’s
demise.
The Post continues,
“The mom posted the disturbing video, which was captured on
surveillance cameras inside her home, later that evening with the
harrowing message: ‘This is what this man dose [sic] to me but i’m
always treated like i’m the abuser!’ The nearly eight-minute video
allegedly showed Bennefield tackling his wife, pinning her down and
savagely punching her repeatedly.”
Despite the brutal assault, because he only faced misdemeanor charges
he was not allowed to be held under the New York State Penal Code bail
law. The misdemeanors included third-degree assault, fourth-degree
criminal mischief, second-degree menacing and second-degree unlawful
imprisonment.
Less is More cost Keaira Bennefield and robbed three young children of their mother.
The rise in crime in New York, and Hochul’s failed leadership, will play a pivotal role in next week’s election.
