Suspects released on bond pending trial have killed 155 people in Harris County, Texas, according to data gathered by Crime Stoppers of Houston.

KRIV-TV reporter Greg Googan publicized the shocking data during a panel segment titled, "What's Your Point?" that aired Monday.

In addition, he shared that "in Harris County, no fewer than 113 defendants charged with capital murder have been inexplicably granted bond and released back onto our streets pending trial."

"We are talking about capital murder — the most egregious offense in the criminal code — a conviction for which carries either life imprisonment or the death penalty," Googan noted.
