A court transcript shows little was done by the Philadelphia DA’s office to prosecute the alleged killer of an 11-year-old for a previous assault charge mere weeks before the murder occurred...

...“When I was in the DA’s office, you typically had three strikes before the case would be discharged for lack of prosecution,” said Lorainne Donnelly, who served over ten years at the Philadelphia’s DA’s office. “But in this transcript, the prosecutor was not ready to proceed at the second court listing and specifically told the Judge that the Commonwealth ‘did not have a motion,’ signaling to the Judge that she is not seeking a continuance for a third listing. Normally you have a motion for continuance for third listing and you would cite the seriousness of the crime — in this case aggravated assault — and whether you’ve had contact with the complainant in the past.”

Urban America is lawless and unlivable.

The vast majority of criminals are given nothing but multiple slaps on the wrist. The vast majority of inmates are let out to roam the streets way too early.

Here in America, we prosecute and punish the innocent, and we let the guilty go free.
