I worked with a guy years ago who truly believed that people in prison were just misunderstood and should be released. Then his mother was attacked and almost killed. He wanted that guy dead! Easy to brush off crime until it affects you

[thomasmurphy]

Those who release known criminals who commit further crimes are culpable and should themselves be charged.

[michaelboros]

Sheriff, you need to go after the lawyer in Jackson County court house. His assault on a person is well documented and on YouTube

[rogerdonoho]

That should be happening all over. States attorneys that don't put criminals behind bars are criminals themselves !

[mildredchapman]

Great, now start holding prosecutors accountable when they do wrong.

[juliemarshall]

They are hired to do a job and if they don't do it they need to be fired just as you would be on any other job.

When a State Attorney cuts a plea deal for 14 felonies in 2 different counties that carries a sentence of 72 years and gives a global plea deal of 18 months you know something is wrong. And gives it to a previous convicted SO and felon.

This should be happening all over the country

[scottwells]

The crooked prosecutors and judges should serve the sentences the criminals should have received. Also pay restitution .

[mikearonson]

Prosecutors, attorney's, judges, District attorney's et al, that are politicized, should all be removed and barred from ever holding that office again.

[whydoyouactlikethat]

Definitely a step in the right direction. Now start holding judges accountable for their lax sentencing.

[mericasense]

They should now put the DA in jail for all the sentencing she failed. If the sum is 1000 days, put her there for 1000 days so she can serve the sentence of the people she was protecting. And should apply that nationwide.

[richardbrown]

She's a agent of chaos get her the hell outta there..

[rvsamu]

Criminals won’t prosecute other criminals. She needs to be suspended and charged with dereliction of duty.

[inhimwelive]

Worrel is an activist, not a prosecutor.

[txhookey]

More states should hold Judges, DAs, and AGs accountable for prosecuting crimes so that more crimes are not committed. It's better to build more jails than to tolerate more crimes.

I’m a black man from the inner city of Baltimore Md, and I certainly approve this message!!

[thegrinch]

Sadly a state’s attorney that wasn’t doing their job is finally being suspended, now I’m not sad for them losing their job but I am sad about the time it has taken for the powers that be do the right thing. I do however feel sad for the countless hundreds that have been harmed by her negligent actions

[kitarikitsuga]

I think if anyone in law inforcement from Cops to judges to DAsto State Attorneys decide to be activists and release criminals with a slap on the wrist. Then the next time that criminal does a crime, they (the law enforcement) need to be held accountable as an accomplice in that crime.

You can't have a prosecutor who doesn't prosecute criminals - no matter the level!
