[quote=Anonymous]Plummeting prosecution rates by USAO were documented by Bowser admin in reports to the Council in 2017. Why were no alarms raised, hearings held, etc? This is obv well before covid, BLM, J6 and other things cited in this thread. USAOs change with administrations, the rate declined during Obama, Trump and Biden. Clearly there is an issue re: career prosecutors, not just Graves, although also a lack of oversight or push back from the top.

Graves has a pilot project in Chinatown, in the wake of his being summoned to the Hill and teams threatening to leave Cap One for VA. Strikingly, once he removed all prosecutorial discretion, the paper rate increased by almost 50% with NO CHANGES IN THE FACTORS HE HAS BLAMED FOR THE 67% no paper rate - same MPD, lab issues, budget, etc and suddenly they can bring LOTS of cases. WTAF is really going on? Why were Bowser, the Council, Graves and his predecessor all silent re: this issue? 67% of arrests not prosecuted is a BIG part of how we got here.
