[quote=Anonymous]Their first action yesterday was to name a convicted murderer to the Sentencing Commission. They included a provision in the Secure DC bill REQUIRING that the Council nominee be someone previously incarcerated. For reals. The Sentencing Commission is comprised of judges, attorneys and academics. They provide technical guidance to judges on sentencing guidelines. It's not a "lived experience" gig. This Council does not only coddle criminals, they honor them. There were many attempts to weaken the pretrial holding provisions and the requirement that judges document reasons for release (likely to make them think twice) was dropped. DC has not hit the bottom yet, nor are electeds responding to public sentiment. [/quote]
