A brutal attack on a Chicago commuter has intensified scrutiny of Illinois' 'no cash bail' policy after authorities confirmed that the suspect responsible for the violent assault had been arrested 72 times before being released under monitoring.
The incident took place on the city's 'L' train, where 26-year-old Bethany MaGee was reportedly doused in gasoline and set on fire by a man with a long history of violent behaviour and multiple felony convictions.
