She’s black. What a surprise.
Because that’s worked so well for Chicago.
Suffolk County taxpayers, get out ASAP.
Tere will be a need for street justice. SSS.
CHARGES TO BE DECLINED
Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).
Trespassing
Shoplifting (including offenses that are essentially shoplifting but charged as larceny)
Larceny under $250
Disorderly conduct
Disturbing the peace
Receiving stolen property
Minor driving offenses, including operating with a suspend or revoked license
Breaking and entering — where it is into a vacant property or where it is for the purpose of sleeping or seeking refuge from the cold and there is no actual damage to property
Wanton or malicious destruction of property
Threats – excluding domestic violence
Minor in possession of alcohol
Drug possession
Drug possession with intent to distribute
A stand alone resisting arrest charge, i.e. cases where a person is charged with resisting arrest and that is the only charge
A resisting arrest charge combined with only charges that all fall under the list of charges to decline to prosecute, e.g. resisting arrest charge combined only with a trespassing charge
Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be
(1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or
(2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors. Note: this is essentially already happening for drug possession cases in Roxbury and Dorchester District Court.
Wow. So I guess if I'm tired, and not close to home, I can just break into someone’s house and sleep?
Look for mortgage insurance rates to increase that is if you can find an insurer willing to sell you a policy.
This is just anarchy.
For just one example — no prosecution of shoplifting. Why would anyone every buy a book in Boston? Just go to a bookstore, pick up a couple of volumes and walk out. Only fools would pay. Works for liquor stores too. Anywhere. Just grab what you want and go.
“Making threats will also be permitted,”
I’m sure that will depend on who makes the threat and who is the object of the threat. Black or any other kind of minority threatens white will be permitted, white threatens black or any other minority will be prosecuted. Woman threatens man will be permitted, man threatens woman will be prosecuted.
I would find absolutely interesting to work in her Charging or Intake Section. It sounds like it will be a hoot!
The Romans were able to keep the barbarians from the gates, but only by telling them to say “Please” first.
Seriously, the Romans also invited the barbarians in because their citizens were too tired to work, to fight in the Legions, to fight the corruption in the Senate and in Rome, and (eventually) to resist the invasions.
Bread and circuses!
The governor’s (Charlie Baker) son molested a woman on board a flight recently and there has not been a word spoken about it since it happened. So you know there will be no push back against this nutty woman from the disgrace known as Charlie Baker.
Like legislating from the bench, this is now legislating from the prosecutor.
“Breaking and entering will not be prosecuted, as long as the perpetrator makes sure the property is vacant. Alternatively, those who commit break-ins of occupied homes because they are cold or tired, but don’t damage anything, will also be in the clear.”
Holy carp.
Wow...Suffolk County will be on its way to HELL-ON-EARTH. Just the condition Soros loves most.
The electorate has discovered that they can vote themselves a salary.
Riot & Looting, here we come!
These mental illnesses are really affecting a lot of people. I guess it should be labeled and identified so idiots like this DA can be fired for having it. At the very least; removed and put into a treatment plan.
Just a new way for gibsmedats to get their free stuff.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together will flee now. Of course selling your house may be "problematic".
