Less than two weeks before cash bail is set to be abolished in Illinois, opponents of the measure on Tuesday asked a Kankakee County judge to stop the change from taking effect and declare the sweeping criminal justice law it is part of unconstitutional.In a crowded Kankakee County courtroom, Judge Thomas Cunnington heard arguments from a group of Illinois state's attorneys who oppose doing away with cash bail, and from lawyers for Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul who defended the measure.
