[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Antwan Pitts case is Exhibit A as to why DC's juvenile crime laws have failed.  In May of 2016, the Post did an extensive profile on him---he committed numerous violent crimes prior to committing the violent assault and rape that landed him behind bars.  Had he been incarcerated for those earlier violent offenses instead of getting multiple second chances under DC's juvenile offenders law as it is applied, he would not have been roaming the streets to injure and traumatize his victim for life.

From the description of his early upbringing and likely permanent brain damage from prenatal substance exposures, the chances that he will ever be able to be rehabilitated are minimal.  Yet DC's juvenile crime law, as applied, let Antwan Pitts roam free.  Why should DC residents trust that this new proposal would not result in the same travesties?[/quote]

Wow Charles Allen and almost all of his cronies blocked Chehs proposal that the judge would consider the nature of the crime - like Pitts above. Allen says he hiimself was the victim of a gun crime and these are "all serious crimes" is he equating street robbery to home invasion and sadistic sexual.assaullt as per abovr?????????????????????:

"The council rejected amendments proposed by Cheh to require judges to give greater weight to the voices of victims and the nature of the offenses when considering early release"
