[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think PP who posted about fentanyl psychosis was probably right.  This doesn’t seem like a “crime” in the traditional sense in that the criminal had nothing to gain—it wasn’t a mugging or drug hit or anything, just random illogical violence by someone who probably has scrambled eggs for brains.  Like the guy who stabbed that woman in Logan circle.  Or the guy who poured a gallon of his own urine over a woman in McPherson square.  I don’t even know if it’s right to call these people mentally ill—I think they have significant brain damage that is probably not amenable to treatment.  Maybe there’s a way to reverse the damage but I doubt that traditional therapies for the mental I’ll are the answer, even if they were available.[/quote]

Perhaps. But he managed to get released from prison ok. [/quote]

He served his sentence. [/quote]

Turns out he didn’t serve his sentence. Early release and violated his DC parole.

Arrested in Chicago in 2022 and parole violation charges dismissed.

Criminal justice reform in action. Be careful out there. [/quote]

You are confused or just flat out lying. He was sentenced to 148 months of imprisonment. DC, like the federal system, abolished parole years ago. Everyone serves their term of custody set off only by good time credit earned. He wasn’t arrested in Chicago in 2022. He was serving his sentence in a federal penitentiary. Upon completion of his term of custody — which by the way was for charges arising from running a prostitution ring for a period of a month with a cousin — he was subject to a five year term of supervised release. This has zero to do with criminal justice reform..[/quote]

And in the interest in avoiding further confusion, the term parole as generally understood — and as formerly available under the parallel DC and federal systems — meant release prior to the completion of the sentenced term of custody. Generally speaking, a parole violation resulted in the offender being returned to custody to complete the remainder of the original sentence, at least in the case of a technical violation such as missing appointments with a parole officer, failed drug tests or other violations of the terms of parole. An offender who violates the terms of supervision instead is subject to a revocation of supervision and resentencing by the court for an addition term of “backup time,” in addition to whatever sentence might be forthcoming for any crime committed while under supervision.
