The thread was quiet for 24 hours until you opened your big mouth stupid.  Follow your own advice if you want solace.[/quote]

Solace? I want whoever the PP is to not draw equivalence between drug dealing and being part of national prison reform for 80s crack crimes and directly murdering or violating someone and being pardoned in 15 years because you were 25 at the time. #notthesame[/quote]

That’s odd.  So you don’t care one way or the other about the proposed legislation being discussed, you just want “order in the forum” and want anonymous PP’s to abide by your rules of rationale.  Hmmm...  You’re right, you don’t want solace. You want control.  Maybe you should ask Jeff if he’s got a part-time job available so you can fulfill your fantasies and monitor threads for content.

Now, back to the subject...

Equivalencies debates aside, with the passage of the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (IRAA) in 2016 and subsequent amendments, DC law provided an opportunity for the re-sentencing of youth who were tried as adults and given long sentences from crimes committed when they were under 18, and had served at least 15 years in prison. 
In determining whether to reduce the sentence, the court is to consider many factors, including whether the individual has demonstrated maturity and demonstrated sufficient rehabilitation to safely return to the community.

Recently, Councilmember Charles Allen introduced the Second Look Amendment Act of 2019 to amend the IRAA to further align with the latest research regarding the emerging adult population. Specifically, if passed, the Second Look Amendment Act will expand the opportunity to request re-sentencing to young adults who committed their offense between the ages of 18-25 and would hold all IRAA candidates awaiting re-sentencing in DC’s Correctional Treatment Facility. While this legislation doesn’t guarantee release, it provides for a meaningful sentence review.

Once again, under this bill no one would be guaranteed a sentence reduction or given one automatically; people would merely get a chance to prove they deserve freedom. Second look sentencing gives people an incentive to reform and improve themselves.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but you are just being really bizarre by drawing an equivalency between Trump's guest (drug charges) and someone who joined in raping a little girl in front of her mom during one of multiple home invasions (the case Allen chastised the judge over).  If he hadn't fired off that letter to the judge I would give this a second look, but in so doing he demonstrated he doesn't want a judge to 'decide'--he just wants the judge to agree with him and pretty much release everyone.
