[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Violent crime is dropping in all other major D cities because they do not release people who have SHOT 5 women and KILLLED 1, to create more mayhem.

On the rare occasions USAO asks for someone to be held, often judges refuse, and the person goes on to kill or attempt to kill more. Happened with that young woman from VA in town for an EDM show and so many others.

Someone should create a public dashboard with these cases naming the judges from the DC Superior Court website. That new magistrate who was on the "Social Justice Review" at Howard Law let out that guy with a machete recently arrested on H. Name and shame. We live here with our children, our safety and basic public order is not up for playing with in a "social justice" game. [/quote]

What the f is a “Social Justice Law Review”?!

How about a Swift Justice Review?[/quote]

It's a law school journal focused on social justice.

I suspect that the change in papering rates by USAO that began in 2017 and continued to rise under Trump and Biden USAs had to do with a similar change in culture and philosophy by career prosecutors.

In the majority of cases, DC USAO or AG no paper or dramatically plead down charges and in the rare cases where they ask for a defendant to be held, the judge denies it. In the case of that poor VA woman stabbed to death prior to a show at Echostage, another JUDGE had ordered the defendant held, giving detailed reasons, yet another judge ordered him released weeks later, leading to tragedy.

Basically, after arrest, the criminal justice system is mostly a fiction. A warrant may be issued if a defendant fails to appear or is non-compliant with terms of release but there are hundreds and hundreds of outstanding warrants in DMV - names and addresses known but federal marshals and LE do not serve.

Many of the judges are social justice activists, and many in the offices of AG and USA likely are, too. Judges are appointed for 15 year terms, have no oversight of any consequence and almost always are rolled to another term. They have no skin in the game at all. If the Council was serious about crime, which they are NOT, they could reduce judicial and prosecutorial discretion and exercise oversight. Instead of Congressional committee that oversees DC calling Graves to testify, have a joint hearing with committee that oversees DOJ. Re-write metrics by which USA and assistant USAs are judged and link to public safety. Have a public dashboard similar to the one in NY that tracks case outcomes and include names of judges.
