[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused... isn't the law to reduce the time served closer to what they would serve if they were convicted today?[/quote]

It's so sad and awful that the trend has been towards reduced sentences for violent crime over the years :(  We should have way, way LESS tolerance for it, not more![/quote]

It is sad and awful...the crimes and broken lives are horrible. If some of these folks found faith, degrees or a new calling in prison that's great. I have zero sympathy for anyone who would violate a child in the presence of their parent (obviously zero sympathy for doing it without the parent present.). But the level of depravity is unforgivable. Allen just showed no common sense in taking up that guy as a cause...it make me question his judgment in pushing another 588 cases on DC and who else he would go to bat for?. I'd like to hear a lot more about  how the Council aims to prevent and/or educate around youth crime in the first place. If youth crime is his thing, did this Allen issue a statement about the Hilton beat down crime gang? Any sympathy for current victims? Any ideas for preventing youth crime? Personally, I would put that cart before this horse. I think we have decriminalized so much in this city from fare jumping to public pot consumption to nuisance joy ride car theft (their solve rate is about zero) - seems like by the time the under 25 crowd is caught for anything, they have graduate degrees in criminality and their crimes are superserious and lives have been horribly changed :(. and then they rightfully receive heavy sentences which Allen and many on the Council (the usual suspects)  would like them to have the opportunity to leave out of in 15 years...including for murder in the first degree?? ?[/quote]
