I have hopes for Ivan Bates as the new Baltimore State's Attorney

He has attended daily roll calls to hear directly from police and has a good working relationship with Commissioner Harrison.

He has reversed some of Mosby's stance such as not punishing lower level crimes and looking at it on a more case to case basis, but maintaining some of her policies like the police "do not call" list where he refuses to work with police on prosecutions that have known integrity issues.

I know nothing about this guy other than what you said - but it sounds good.

I keep saying it, no doubt there are aspects of criminal justice reform that need to be examined and improved - but not for violent offenders. Nobody wants to see violent offenders back on the streets so quickly.

They have found election fraud!

More than 300 signatures in a petition to recall Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón last year belonged to dead people, according to the county's Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office.
According to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office, a review of the petition found 367 signatures of people who had died before the recall effort was launched.

The findings were similar to a review of another petition, statewide Initiative 1935, in which county officials found 344 signatures of dead petitioners. The initiative was meant to limit local and state government from expanding, enacting or modifying taxes and fees.
The changes put Gascón not just at odds with many of his own prosecutors and local law enforcement officials, but made him a target of Republican and conservative figures on the national stage who suggested that progressive, or derisively dubbed "woke," prosecutors were to blame for increases in crime.
