Voters to decide on California's Get Out Of Jail Free card

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California voters are now deciding the fate of Proposition 25, which would end the state’s money bail system. 

A "Yes" vote on Prop 25 would get rid of the bail system as we know it today and allow a new state law to go into effect. Under that law, SB 10, judges would decide if someone accused of serious crimes should be released or kept behind bars in county jails depending on public safety and flight risk.
