[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is disgusting. I had heard they were decriminalizing carjacking (or "downgrading") but this is even worse.[/quote] The RCCA does not decriminalize or downgrade carjacking. It moves it under the robbery statute, which is consistent with practice in the majority of the states. Carjacking is a serious felony under the RCCA and the top end of the punishment range is higher than about 98 percent of prior carjacking sentences in the District over the last decade. In short, despite the change to the code, people convicted of carjacking will still face serious penalties akin to what they face now.[/quote]
