[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This month the DC City Council will vote on Allen's proposal to deeply reduce sentencing for the under 25 crowd in DC, including murderers, rapists and child sex offenders. According to the Washington Post editorial board's comments today--both recent mass shooters would have been eligible under this proposal.
[/quote]Oh puh-lease, the criminal has to have been in jail for at least 15 years and they have to convince a judge that they have changed.  The prosecutor gets to argue against early release.  Do you not trusts the judges to have common sense?  If so, make that argument but stop acting like there are not checks and balances here.  I'm really tired of people describing this proposal as if Allen wants to set murderers and rapists free on the streets instead of sending them to prison. It's extremely irresponsible, bordering on hystrical.[/quote]

It’s odd to not allow judges to consider the underlying offense, no?  (If that is indeed the proposal.)[/quote]
