Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj says her office will stop prosecuting some misdemeanor cases, claiming the office is "inundated" and prosecutors need to focus on violent and felony crimes.

FOX 5 has obtained a memo Biberaj sent to judges on Dec. 30 outlining the impacted offenses. They include reckless driving (under 90 mph), hit-and-run (property damage), eluding, trespass, petty larceny, and drunk in public.

Also, the new effective 89 mph speed limit on Loudon roads seems like a bad idea, but who know [/quote]

The Commonwealth Attorney isn't responsible for enforcing traffic laws. That's the sheriff's job.[/quote]
No, the CA is responsible for prosecuting criminal offenses, which the offenses outlined in the memo are. Law enforcement agencies are still able to their job, investigating and making arrests, but the CA is abdicating responsibility for doing her job. [/quote]
