Kankakee County Circuit Judge Thomas Cunnington ruled (Wednesday) that the key provision of Illinois' sweeping criminal justice reform law violates the state constitution. The judge ruled the SAFE-T Act ending cash bail is unconstitional.  The ruling came just a few days before cash bail was set to be abolished in Illinois on January 1st.  Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul plans to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
