4. Case dismissed 6/30/23.

5. Max Emerson murdered 7/5/23[/quote]

He would have been ON TRIAL starting yesterday for a prior shooting victim (that one lived) had USAO not no papered it/declined to prosecute at the last minute, as they do in 67% of arrests. Had this guy with a gun PRIOR been held pending trial on 7/10/23 and had the case gone forward he would not have been on the street and the poor tourist teacher WOULD BE ALIVE.

Graves has a lower prosecution rate than any other big city. He is full of excuses but even "kids are kids" Schwab has a no paper rate of 26% vs the astronomical 67% rate of federally appointed Graves. Schwab has the exact same lab, MPD and other challenges. Graves may have the lowest prosecution rate in the country and when they do go forward they drastically plead down cases putting dangerous people back on the street. Congress really needs to exercise oversight over DOJ and their USAO for DC. If it's a resource issue, fix it. There needs to be a real cards on the table about what is really at play. Is it ideological? https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/politics/black-prosecutors-dc-gun-cases/index.html

Another startling example of how the USAO does business https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/armed-man-who-attacked-dc-pub-owner-in-front-of-4-year-old-boy-offered-plea-deal-to-victims-dismay/3382018/[/quote]

And yet Racine alum Janeese Lewis George thinks pre-trial detention is a bad idea. How many people did this guy victimize that *didn’t* result in an arrest?[/quote]
