Reply to comment by RSquared in 5 archaic D.C. laws still technically on the books after crime bill is nixed by washingtonpost
Also..
the vast majority of people are sentenced to far less than four years.
Why?
Why are so many arguments for this bill containing passing reference to a serious issue with our justice system as if thats the ok state of affairs.
Its entirely undemocratic. If I asked this city what the sentence should be for a violent felon who has a gun on them illegally the answer wouldnt be “the vast majority should be sentenced to far less than 4 years”
Its a scandal whats happening in our courts and its a scandal that people are silent on it.
While seemingly well aware of the state of the courts when discussibg the reductions in sentences proposed in this bill.
