[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The USAO prosecution rate is not improving

[quote]“His office actually charged fewer cases last quarter (October-December 2023) and prosecutions remain significantly below the pre-COVID average,” Joe Friday wrote, adding: [b]“This low prosecution rate is without any known precedent in other major American cities or even DC’s recent past.”[/b]

“The fact that prosecutions decreased in Q4 2023 goes against the optimistic narrative that USA Graves spun at his October 2023 press conference,” the anonymous blogger wrote. “While the official narrative boiled down to ‘prosecutions increased because we solved longstanding problems;’ the actual prosecution volumes correspond much more with the media schedule.” [/quote]

We don't need his name, but he's doing god's work and driving the conversation with hard statistics. My hunch is that he's probably ex-law enforcement and maybe a registered Republican, that's why he doesn't want his name out there or to make any enemies. He doesn't want his background to distract from the information contained in his posts.

Thank you, Joe Friday!
