[quote=Anonymous]This is one example of the issues - under the current DC code the mand min is 15 years for armed carjacking. This guy had also a previous weapons offense. Through a combo of undercharging and a plea he got only 5 years, will be out in less.

Note the USAO put out a press release about this. The USAO, part of DOJ and appointed not elected, does not report stats, or respond to FOIAs. These occasional press releases are actually not an "atta boy" moment but a WTH, why is that known to be dangerous guy gonna be on the street in @ 3 years when it should have been 15+?

Chesa got recalled as DA in LA for weak prosecution. We don't elect the USAO, but I do wonder if they prosecute more or less cases than Chesa did? Congress has oversight over DOJ, would be nice if they exercised it. It's not just Graves, no USAOs have been even minimally transparent.

The whole idea of mandatory minimums needs to be revisited when these outcomes that are "success stories" fall SO far short.

This statement by Contee, also today, was quite impassioned https://twitter.com/FeverPotomac/status/1632813055842107392
