[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, 22 pages and the rage mongerers likely are neither going to get the sentence in this case changed nor get the public officials who did their jobs with a respect for the law unseated.

You must be proud of all the time you could have spent with your own families raging for nothing here. More money for the moderator, maybe, but you’re kind of a pathetic, hate-fueled lot. [/quote]

You must be proud of defending drunk drivers who kill people?[/quote]

PP isn’t defending the kid. No one is. [/quote]

Ok, I should have said “excusing the behavior of” rather than defending. Lots of posts telling us that it’s normal for kids to drive this fast and drink and drive and this was just a dumb accident.[/quote]

That’s not excusing his behavior at all. It was putting it into context. 
His actions were wrong and he should be punished appropriately.

There was an 18-year-old driver from Arlington who struck and killed a woman near W-L in 2011 and even though he was 18 and charged as an adult he still got a one-year suspended sentence and apparently never served a day in jail or prison.

The punishment is the Meade case was consistent with other juvenile offenses.  The prosecutor and the judge followed the law and relevant precedent.

They weren’t drunk in the 2011 crash.  Quit pretending they’re equivalent.[/quote]

you seriously can't believe the 2011 crash and the Meade killing have any similarity whatsoever.
2011 crash- 18 year old driver, around sunrise, traveling in the same direction as a pedestrian who may have been walking in the street?  hit pedestrian and her dog- driver stayed on scene, was cooperative with police.  Prosecutors took a plea for 1 year in jail suspended, giving talks on safe driving at drivers ed ceremony's etc.  Prosecutors expressed great sympathy for victims family and stated that they were constrained by the lack of evidence in the case.

The 17 year old who killed Braylon Meade?  driving 94 miles an hour on Old Dominion, applied brakes for 1/2 second, drunk and high, and lied to the police??   And rather than expressing sympathy- Parisa focused on the needs of the defendant.

I campaigned for Parisa when she was first elected.  I'll be voting for Josh this time around.  Not so much because of this individual case- in general I agree about not trying minors as adults- but because I don't think she has the competence to be the Prosecutor.   She doesn't know how to manage her office, she doesn't know how to try a case, she doesn't see nuance, and she has spent a lot of time doing political stuff rather than managing her office.[/quote]
