[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often read posts on this forum implying that people who commit crimes in DC get more lenient sentences or aren’t prosecuted if they are under 25 or 26 years old. Is that true? If so, could someone please direct me to an official source explaining that?[/quote] Not an official source, but a good summary with references to the pertinent passages in the DC Code: https://koehlerlaw.net/youth-rehabilitation-act-dc/ The YRA has been a complete failure and has made the city less safe, as documented in this six-part WaPo series from 2016: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/off-the-grid-how-a-violent-offender-slipped-through-the-dc-justice-system/2016/05/13/ba4ca96c-ebba-11e5-bc08-3e03a5b41910_story.html[/quote]
