Reply to comment by The_Sauce_DC in D.C. Council Prepares To Vote On Overhaul Of Criminal Code by LocalBearEnthusiast

Basically what Charles Allen is doing is making the harassment of women, stalking, verbal abuse, etc consequence free.

The police may arrest someone and charge them and then that person will be out in the street free to commit the same offenses for the next 2-3 years while they wait for their trial date.

That, or more cases will get dropped. DC residents will love getting several times the amount of jury summons.

Ideally they could build a second courthouse EOTR and run some classes cases through there and take the pressure off 500 Indiana Avenue.
