[quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, the code revision could have led to longer sentences in a lot of cases, because it permits stacking charges and adds new gun crimes -- so a carjacking with a gun could have meant 30 years in prison rather than the maximum of 18, even though 18 is less than the current max of 21. Doesn't matter for now, obviously. But there really are some outdated provisions in the current criminal code that the Council should address, working with the mayor and the AG's office, and it'd be good if they could figure out a way to message around that when they pass it again so Congress doesn't block it a second time. From hearing about it here and in the national news, you'd think the whole bill was just nothing but a sop to criminals, but it did also do a lot of useful things beyond that.[/quote]
