BRIDGEPORT -- Connecticut's bail bond system is out of control.
More than 17,000 accused felons in Connecticut have skipped out on their bail bonds. Rules that require bondsmen to collect a certain percentage of each bail bond are routinely ignored.

Selami Ozdemir, of West Haven, was bonded out on a Saturday in January and shot his wife to death the next day.
Darryl Crenshaw was bonded out while awaiting trial on kidnapping charges and then beat his girlfriend to death in July 2008.
