Today's Terrible Judge: Marybeth Dingledy

#Snohomishcounty #Washington Judge #MarybethDingledy granted the request of the Snohomish County prosecuting attorney to increase child murderer #SteveGizaw 's bail from $500,000 to $2 million.

Gizaw's family posted a $500,000 bond to secure his release from juvenile detention a day after the shooting in a crowded mall, where he hit 15-year-old #JaydaWoodsJohnson . He turned himself back into custody Tuesday night after prosecutors filed charges against him in Superior Court.

Family members of Woods-Johnson were in the courtroom with t-shirts that said “Justice for Jayda” during Wednesday's hearing.“ My daughter should not be gone, she should be here," said Woods-Johnson’s father, Jeremy Johnson. Speaking to reporters after the hearing, the victim's family expressed frustration with the amount set for #bail #bailreform

“Why would you even get a bail when you murder somebody. They don’t get to come back, why should you be in society?” said Jeremy Johnson.

According to police, Woods-Johnson was an innocent bystander to a fight that occurred in the #Alderwoodmall food court. Charging documents allege a teenage boy punched Gizaw in the face, then #Gizaw chased the other boy through the mall and fired a shot at him. The Gizaw family then lied about Gizaw's access to weapons, despite multiple posts on social media showing him with them. Gizaw will be tried as an adult.
