[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of these murders committed by mentally disturbed individuals will it take for us to make some changes as a city? To actually elect people who have some different views?[/quote]

Holy shit, when will you realize that the DC City Council has no oversight of adult criminals or the Bureau of Prisons? Neither the Mayor nor the Council nor the AG had any part in whether this guy was released, how and when he was released, etc.

[b]In fact, the city very likely had NO IDEA this guy was out on the street.[/b] [/quote]

And isn't that a problem? This doesn't happen in other parts of the country.[/quote]

You are not understanding, if you are a DC resident, you need to understand how the criminal justice system is structured here. The USAO is federally appointed, as are judges and so is funding for DC Superior Court. Due to the status of DC the system of prosecuting adults operates outside of the DC government and it is actually part of DOJ. Congress has oversight over DOJ and thus the USAO. It is a separate committee than the one that has oversight over DC, which has been holding hearings.

More re: USAO can be found here along with additional info re: the DC system.
