What the f is a “Social Justice Law Review”?!

How about a Swift Justice Review?

It's a law school journal focused on social justice.

I suspect that the change in papering rates by USAO that began in 2017 and continued to rise under Trump and Biden USAs had to do with a similar change in culture and philosophy by career prosecutors.

In the majority of cases, DC USAO or AG no paper or dramatically plead down charges and in the rare cases where they ask for a defendant to be held, the judge denies it. In the case of that poor VA woman stabbed to death prior to a show at Echostage, another JUDGE had ordered the defendant held, giving detailed reasons, yet another judge ordered him released weeks later, leading to tragedy.

Basically, after arrest, the criminal justice system is mostly a fiction. A warrant may be issued if a defendant fails to appear or is non-compliant with terms of release but there are hundreds and hundreds of outstanding warrants in DMV - names and addresses known but federal marshals and LE do not serve.

Many of the judges are social justice activists, and many in the offices of AG and USA likely are, too. Judges are appointed for 15 year terms, have no oversight of any consequence and almost always are rolled to another term. They have no skin in the game at all. If the Council was serious about crime, which they are NOT, they could reduce judicial and prosecutorial discretion and exercise oversight. Instead of Congressional committee that oversees DC calling Graves to testify, have a joint hearing with committee that oversees DOJ. Re-write metrics by which USA and assistant USAs are judged and link to public safety. Have a public dashboard similar to the one in NY that tracks case outcomes and include names of judges.

I have no words.

Prior to being appointed as a judge, she was a public defender for 14 years.

Her 15 year term is almost up, anyone know of ways to keep her from remaining on the bench?

When is the protest? Let's march to the Wilson building, and then to the courthouse for an outdoor 'sit in' (is that where the DA hides out too?)
Let's do permitted, best behavior. After all what we are protesting is the total breakdown of social order, civility and justice.

For anyone who wants to look up his record, the defendant's middle initial is A.

Multiple judges have been involved:

The further details are even MORE insane

I do. His frontal lobe will not be fully developed until he is 26. Until then, there's nothing we can do.

I don't know how so many people appear willing to give her a pass. Sure, the Council is a problem. But she is a bigger one, and you just don't notice it because she pushes blame onto the Council so often.

The buck stops with her.

Signed, somehow who will sign a recall petition for Bowser after telling neighbors to pinch their nose and vote for her just a year ago. I was wrong.

Focusing on Frumin because recalling him is a possibility because it would be limited to Ward 3 voters. Would be hard to recall Bowser as there likely wouldn't be enough support across all wards to do so.

+1. Mayor doesn’t care about Ward 3. We are the easy band-aid solution to the problems of the city. Homeless? Stick them in Ward 3. Bad schools? Let’s overcrowd JR and Deal. Not enough money? Let’s raise taxes on high earners. Frumin, on the other hand, is supposed to be fighting for us. But most of his policy proposals would benefit the rest of the city more than Ward 3 residents. It’s bizarre.

The mayor does care about Ward 3 because it’s her continuous cash machine for DC government.

This drop is unacceptable. Congress w/oversight over DC had a hearing, with only brief change in behvaior by USAO. It is clearly time for a joint hearing and some more vigorous oversight over DOJ/USAO. This issue started LONG before Graves himself but was not an issue prior to 2017 across both D and R presidential appointees. What changed in the corporate culture of the office?

Even if federal marshals served the hundreds of outstanding federal warrants for DMV would have a + impact. We have those names and addresses. Congress can allocate funds and prioritize that goal.

After arrests, the system is a joke or non-existent far too much of the time. So many words belied by actions or inaction.

That man SHOT FIVE WOMEN and KILLED ONE. WTH was he doing out on pre-trial release to fire a gun into an occupied home?!!
