What we have here is the nauseating combination of the poisons that have been taking over our criminal justice system\u00a0 —\u00a0 strutting elitist attitudes and shameless lying masquerading as compassion.\u00a0 But it’s not compassion.\u00a0 It’s the opposite.\u00a0 It starts with self-congratulatory virtue-signalling by elite-type lawyers (the great majority of whom are, as in this case, white).\u00a0 The next step is pro bono representation of a violent hooligan to obtain early release, thus to shortcut his supposed accountability for an earlier brutal crime.\u00a0 It proceeds by patently false representations about his New Life and Now Peaceable Character.\u00a0 The final chapter is another black man in the morgue.\u00a0 The white lawyers who made it all possible have\u00a0 —\u00a0 you guessed it\u00a0 —\u00a0 no comment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s how the WaPo story begins:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Darrell Moore was 16 when he and a gang of young robbers barged into a Northeast Washington apartment in 1994 and terrorized a group of women and children, fatally shooting a teenage girl as she knelt in prayer…<\/p>\n

Although Moore was not carrying a gun in that predawn attack, he severed a phone line with a knife, slashed open sofa cushions in an apparent search for drug money and suggested to his companions that they \u201ccut these [females] up,\u201d authorities said. His involvement in the home invasion made him legally culpable for the gunfire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Prosecuted as an adult, Moore was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges in 1995 and sentenced to 66 years to life in prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Here’s where a gruesome but avoidable second murder starts to take shape.\u00a0 Remember to thank “criminal justice reform.”<\/p>\n

\n

If not for a D.C. law that allows for the early release of offenders who committed their crimes when they were young, he would not have been eligible for parole until 2053, around the time of his 75th birthday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
\n

Instead, he was freed last summer after 26 years behind bars.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

And now, at 43, he is charged with murder \u2014 again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

In an affidavit made public Wednesday in D.C. Superior Court, a homicide detective said Moore fatally shot a 37-year-old man during an argument the afternoon of April 3 in the 300 block of 18th Street NE, not far from where the\u00a01994 home invasion<\/a>\u00a0took place. He was arrested this week and pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Superior Court.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

After reviewing the affidavit, which lays out the police investigation of the April 3 shooting, Magistrate Judge Shelly A. Mulkey called the evidence against Moore \u201cextremely heavy.\u201d And after listening to a prosecutor\u2019s synopsis of the 1994 mayhem, she ordered Moore held in jail pending prosecution, saying, \u201cI find that there is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant poses a danger to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hey, nothing like figuring it out, even if a bit late for the most recent victim.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The killing of Julius Hayes, who was shot six times, occurred nine months after another Superior Court judge, Robert D. Okun, granted Moore\u2019s request for early release.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The \u201chorrific\u201d home invasion had \u201ccaused lasting damage to the victims and their families,\u201d Okun wrote in his July ruling after hearing testimony from survivors of the crime. However, based on records of Moore\u2019s good behavior in prison and a lawyer\u2019s account of Moore\u2019s traumatic childhood and adolescence, Okun said Moore \u201chas significantly changed\u201d as an adult after a quarter-century of incarceration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cMore specifically, the Court finds that Defendant does not currently pose a danger to the safety of any person or the community,\u201d Okun said in ordering his release.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let’s stop right there.\u00a0 Note that Okun did not say that he “believed” or “predicted” that Moore does not “pose a danger to the safety of any person or the community.”\u00a0 He stated it as a fact<\/em>, indeed as a finding<\/em>, although he could not possibly have known it and it was, of course, flagrantly false.<\/p>\n

Judge Okun, incidentally, is a graduate of Harvard Law School and an Obama appointee to the bench.\u00a0 He plays with people’s lives because he thinks, almost certainly correctly, that (1) there will be no cost to him when he gets it wrong, and (2) his own life will continue on its own comfortable and well-heeled way.<\/p>\n

\n

Moore was a beneficiary of the District\u2019s Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act, known as the IRAA, passed by the D.C. Council in 2016 and signed by Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D). The law initially allowed judges to release inmates whose crimes occurred before they were 18 and who have served a minimum of 20 years. The age cutoff has since been increased to 24 by the council and mayor and the amount of time behind bars reduced to 15 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let’s stop again there.\u00a0 This sort of law is at the heart of “reform.”\u00a0 The problem, under reform theory, is not crime; it’s incarceration.\u00a0 The incontestable fact that we’re certain to have more crime when criminals are released early is irrelevant, as is the fact that the victims of that recidivist crime\u00a0 —\u00a0 especially when it’s violent\u00a0 —\u00a0 are disproportionately black.<\/p>\n

This is from the people, mind you, who never tire<\/em> of telling us how much they believe that black lives matter.<\/p>\n

Apparently an appreciation for irony has been another casualty of the defense bar’s willy-nilly arrogance and deceit.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cI say that law is terrible,\u201d said Nancy Slaughter Jr., who was a child hiding under blankets during the 1994 shooting. Her brother also hid as her sister was killed and her mother and aunt were shot and wounded.<\/p>\n

At court hearings on the [IRAA] release requests, prosecutors have objected in every instance, arguing that reducing the sentences of convicted violent criminals causes victims and their families to lose faith in the punishments imposed by judges. Advocates for the IRAA say the law offers hope to young people who mature in prison, inspiring them to become active participants in their own rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, “their own rehabilitation” or their next murder, look, whatever.\u00a0 Anyone voicing a degree of skepticism is just one of those Puritanical Reagan\/Bush\/Jeff Sessions types.<\/p>\n

\n

The law requires a judge to consider a long list of factors in ruling on an early release, including the defendant\u2019s age when the crime occurred; family background, personal character and mental health; rehabilitative progress; and how victims and prosecutors feel about the release request.<\/p>\n

In Moore\u2019s case, Okun ruled that all but a few of the factors weighed in Moore\u2019s favor, such as the psychic trauma he suffered as a youth, that he \u201chas taken responsibility for his actions\u201d and that he did not have a gun during the home invasion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well that’s cool!\u00a0 He didn’t have a gun!!\u00a0 He only had a knife, which he used to terrorize his defenseless victims.\u00a0 But still, in this other-worldly way of “reform” thinking, you get a star on your sentencing chart because it was a mere knife (the first time).<\/p>\n

Honestly, you cannot make this up.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Prosecutors who opposed the release wrote in a court filing that the \u201ccold and callous nature of this crime reflects the defendant\u2019s depravity.\u201d They said that \u201cthe government isn\u2019t opposed to second chances, just the premature release of violent offenders who have yet to establish their maturity and rehabilitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Kristin G. Koehler, the lawyer who helped Darrell Moore gain his freedom, did not respond to an interview request.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Imagine that.\u00a0 Defense counsel has no comment.\u00a0 This is from the defense bar that’s constantly yelling at you about how callous you are and how caring they are.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Police said in 1994 Moore and several companions broke into the apartment across the hall from where they had been smoking marijuana mixed with PCP, a powerful hallucinogen known to induce violent behavior. They planned to rob a reputed marijuana dealer who lived there, but he was not home when they barged in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

In the apartment were young Denise, her mother and aunt, and two small children who cowered under blankets as the gang terrorized the others, police said. Slaughter and her brother were those children.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

At one point, authorities said, the assailants held Denise and the women on a floor at gunpoint and talked about how they would kill them. Denise rose to her knees and prayed, saying she was ready to die, and asked God to spare the children. Denise\u2019s mother then tapped a shoe of one the attackers, saying, \u201cPlease, if you believe in God, don\u2019t hurt my babies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
\n

Each of the three was then shot in the head. The women eventually recovered but Denise died instantly, police said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Prosecutors argued Moore did not meet the criteria for early release, noting that he had not earned a high school equivalency diploma behind bars, had not completed vocational training and had no housing or job lined up. They said his \u201creentry into society will increase his likelihood of re-offending.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those prosecutors are just such a bunch of stuffed shirts.\u00a0 We need second chances, dontcha know.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Moore\u2019s attorney, Koehler, filed a voluminous document describing her client\u2019s troubled upbringing with alcoholic parents and a learning disability that left him, at 15, with the functional intelligence of a 7-year-old. She said those problems had made him susceptible to peer pressure, leading to his participation in the home invasion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Moore \u201chas spent time on personal reflection\u201d and \u201cexpresses remorse for his participation in the crime,\u201d Koehler wrote. She said he \u201cwishes he had the strength and willpower as a young child to stop the terrible chain of events.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Question:\u00a0 Do you think Moore actually spent time in “personal reflection” about his brutal home invasion?\u00a0 What’s the evidence for that?\u00a0 Do you think he felt anything identifiable as authentic remorse?\u00a0 And what’s is the evidence for that<\/em>?\u00a0 \u00a0Do you think there was merely a dropped-out-of-the-sky “chain of events” to which he was a mere helpless spectator?<\/p>\n

This is the kind of casual lying and defense-speak tripe upon which, courtesy of criminal justice reform, we are now going to gamble future victims’ lives.\u00a0 Most of the lives we’ll throw away will be black lives.\u00a0 And don’t kid yourself:\u00a0 To the “reform” crowd, those lives don’t matter and never did.\u00a0 It’s not like we don’t know that incarceration and sober sentencing save lives.\u00a0 We have more than 50 years of data to prove it.\u00a0 It’s not that they don’t know.\u00a0 They don’t care.<\/p>\n

The data don’t matter.\u00a0 The black lives don’t matter.\u00a0 The rest of the lives don’t matter, either.\u00a0 What matters is the ideology of the New York Times, Mother Jones,\u00a0 the faculty lounge, and the legions of others on the Hard Left.<\/p>\n

It’s late in the day for the rest of us to start fighting back.\u00a0 But because black lives do matter, just as all lives matter, we have no choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
