CRAZY: In Gun-Violent Baltimore, Criminals Getting Off Who Commit Gun Crimes

October 25, 2016| by Robert Gehl

As Baltimore police and prosecutors race to tamp down a sustained spike in violence, many of the charges against people caught with illegal guns aren’t sticking, or defendants are only jailed for a fraction of their sentence.

About one-quarter of such gun cases are dropped before defendants go to trial, according to a Baltimore Sun analysis. Even when convicted of illegally possessing a firearm, prosecutors say, defendants are sentenced on average to 16 months in jail, with a substantial portion of their sentences suspended, The Baltimore Sun is reporting.

Crazy? What's crazy about it? It's Baltimore. Where they are allowed "space to destroy".
