[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc is releasing murderers after 10 years. Thry should be serving life [/quote]

Oh my goodness, that sounds terrible. I'd love to learn more. Can you please share some examples or newspaper articles of even a shred of evidence that this is true and not something you made up?[/quote] they passed a law a few years ago that allows release after 10 years if they committed their crime if they were younger than 25. It was all over the news [/quote]

Yes, it's 15 years, not 10. And it merely allows for individuals to petition for release. A judge ultimately makes the determination based on 11 statutory criteria. Some end up released, some do not.

And, most importantly, after five years, only seven people (or 5.6%) have been re-arrested and are awaiting a court proceeding. [/quote] you understand only a tiny minority of dc violent crimes actually have an arrest let alone a conviction right? [/quote]

So working on things that reduce crime without telling on arrest/conviction would be even more of a benefit?[/quote]
