DC Democrat demands answers on US attorney not prosecuting criminals in nation's capital: 'I'm pissed'
67% of arrests since 2021 were not prosecuted as city council chair claims there's no 'crime crisis'
A lifelong Washington, D.C., Democrat expressed outrage over a new report showing the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia declined to prosecute the vast majority of arrests made in the nation's capital last year.
D.C. neighborhood commissioner Denise Rucker Krepp (D) joined "Fox & Friends" as crime statistics in the city have soared in 2023.
"I'm pissed," Krepp said Thursday.
"We have 52 homicides this year, 42 sex abuse cases, 628 thefts of cars and 150 carjackings. So crime is going up overall by 22%. We have a U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., that is choosing affirmatively not to prosecute. That's problematic."
