[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This prosecutor is not only soft on crime but incompetent. Cases have been thrown out because of sheer incompetence, cases that EVERYONE agrees should be prosecuted. She has never worked in a prosecutor's office and truly has no idea what she is doing.[/quote]

She was a public defender with a background in “innocence protection.” She came into the job billing herself this way basically (soft on crime) and people voted for it. While I don’t mind rehabilitation being a part of the criminal justice system, particularly for non-violent crimes, I think things are going too far. It feels like the well-being of defendants is taking priory over actual the actual justice part. I mean, I make my kids deal with actual consequences when they do something they’re not supposed to. Who are we helping if we just give everyone a slap on the wrist?

A friend of mine was shot and killed (wrong place at the wrong time) by a 23 year old who had already had charges dropped down on a prior gun charge so that he was set free. This was in a different state, but it seems to be happening all over. It’s like first offenses (gun crimes, DUIs, theft, etc.) are treated as an oops! So let’s give the criminals a second chance to hurt someone else.

There’s a statistically good chance Braylon’s killer will end up hurting someone else. I have no faith a year in jail will cause any real turnaround for someone who has been in and out of rehab already.[/quote]
