[quote=Anonymous]Contact information for all DC Council members can be found at link. Let your thoughts be known, not just to your CM but all of them. Why shouldn't victims or their families have a voice on the Sentencing Commission? When there is already one extreme position represented, what is the value of adding a recently released murderer, who served 20 years for a heinous crime? Most members are judges (many former public defenders) and lawyers, what was the process that elevated this particular man's voice? As the mayor says, sunlight is necessary for the criminal justice ecosystem to work properly. Let's have some transparency re: this and why the public notice did not occur until AFTER the hearings. Let's walk this back and let the voices of the community play a role as the process is designed to allow, if rules are followed. The lawlessness seems to have spread to legislative procedure. https://dccouncil.gov/councilmembers/[/quote]
