[quote=Anonymous]Did you all see the reasons they gave? It’s a crazy situation!

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 67% of arrests were not prosecuted in 2022, up from 31% in 2016.

U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves noted that percentage is an aggregate of all the crimes his office prosecutes. He said it’s a reflection of the newer difficulties his office encounters with arrests involving gun possession, low-level drug offenses and misdemeanors.

DC crime lab isn’t accredited. It can’t identify drugs and DEA will only process so many. It can’t do DNA either and private labs have limited capacity.

They didn’t mention how they dropped 12 very major cases because of some investigation into 7-D crime suppression team investigation.

The MPD is limited in what they can do since the new pricing orders and I would imagine discouraged when their work is for nothing. I wouldn’t risk prosecution or firing or even just working hard of everything I do is leading to nothing and undone overnight.

Only the criminals benefit. I said crime. Sue me.
