This. I’m horrified by the decision recently to let Gret Glyer’s killer plead not guilty by reason of insanity. The case is horrific and I’d bet dollars to donuts the man will be on the streets in a few years after killing a man as he slept in his bed next to his wife that the murderer was obsessed with.

Fairfax has a worthless prosecuter who cares far more about leniency for the guilty than justice for the innocent.

"As long as he takes his medication, he doesn't pose a threat to any one."

Oh, yeah. How many times do we hear this excuse for criminal behavior resulting in the the deaths of innocent victims, even for the children of Hollywood's elite. If only...!

I’m a prosecutor. This is what you voted for. What did you think was going to happen when you were wringing your hands about how “the whole system is so so broken” and telling us that we have “criminalized” addiction and mental illness? What exactly did you think criminal justice “reform” would entail? (Not you specifically, OP, but the overwhelmingly liberal voters in the DMV area)

In DC, a guidelines sentence for attempted murder for someone with minimal adult criminal history is 3-7 years. You can put a bullet in someone intending to end their life and be out in 3 years.

+1 Alexandria is like this remember the guy the liberal judge let out and he went and killed his accuser. I still can't fathom how that wasn't national news.

The accuser was a women, so, no big deal. Remember, MAGA hate women.

What are you talking about? I remember this story. The judge was a *very* liberal city of alexandria judge.

For all the complaining about 'liberal' prosecutors - where are the 'conservative' prosecutors? What great criminal prosecution successes did Miyares have in 4 years? Are there no repeat offenders in red districts? While there are certainly bleeding-heart politics that play into sentencing guidelines (for example), what is your average workaday county or state prosecutor supposed to do when in the vast majority of cases, they can find no credible witnesses, maybe the victim doesn't even want to testify, and their caseload is completely unmanageable overall?

Re: the Glyer case - my understanding is the perpetrator is going to be confined to an institution indefinitely. Is the victim's family upset because they wanted the death penalty? Clearly the guy wasn't of sound mind, he believed he was 'freeing' the wife from her husband and that she'd run away with him. Frankly, I think their mutual church should be prosecuted for ignoring years of warning signs about the guy and making it the wife's responsibility to manage his feelings...

He should have been prosecuted for murder and sent to jail for life. Does anyone actually believe he’ll be in the institution for more than a few years?

This was pre-meditated murder. It stretches credulity to state that he didn’t know right from wrong when he committed the act.

Miyares wasn't the CWA for Fairfax County?

Sorry, I get confused about which party hates women and uses them as political props.

Except this isn’t Alexandria. This is Fairfax county so has nothing to do with city of Alexandria police or courts

I'm the OP - the Glyer case and that outcome is also extremely disappointing. I feel for the wife, she has YOUNG children and given the motive who's to say he won't get out and begin harassing her again.

There is one guy that walks right in the road, is there literally every day and they do nothing. It pisses me off. I should be able to run errands or drive to work without some druggie stumbling in front of me.

You could probably study Baltimore, Colorado, Oklahoma, Georgia, and many places in Texas if you need to educate yourself.

Meanwhile your ilk fumble the ball on the Epstein and Enron’s of the world.

Failing to understand the distinction between the City of Alexandria and the portion of Fairfax County called Alexandria has always been a litmus test for me to determine just how much of a moron one is.

This is her obituary.

Her killer should have never been free. I don’t see how anybody can justify it.

Why? He has a constitutional right to be there and panhandle. Sorry you don’t like it but that doesn’t make it illegal.
