ACLU, VOTE, and similar orgs are ever present to oppose even the slightest bills that hold criminals accountable. But it's not unusual for the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops to join them.

And, I'll add, judicial accountability measures like the Jacob Carter Act (SB123). Sutton makes the mistake that a number of New Orleans leaders make — not digging in and seeing that our systems are totally busted; instead, assuming they're mostly fine and we just need more "resources…” [3/4]

At the beginning of the clip, Sutton finally acknowledged that the judge in this position was horrible (after 20+ years on the bench). But Sutton didn't seem to grasp the larger concept that Orleans judiciary is broken and in need of major reform... [2/4]

It’s not about preferring a top down system, it’s just recognizing and respecting that the state has the ability and responsibility to make these changes. Like many, I’m tired of bloat and brokenness in Orleans government operations. Our courts are one of them.

Elections that take place for these positions are downstream from how the state chooses to structure the court system. The state dictates which positions are needed. Not the people who get elected to them. They’re there to serve so long as the position exists as determined by the state.

Because Orleans Parish is, yet again, an outlier in how we operate. And, yet again, what we’re doing is not working and wastes money. Every other parish in the state has a unified court system. Including parishes larger than ours. No compelling reason for us to have a totally different system.

Recidivism isn’t the only problem. It’s that sentences and actual time served have to be substantial enough for punishment and to deter other would-be criminals. His sentence was already short at one year, then to cut that down to just 4 months? That’s a joke. Undermines the system’s credibility.

If you think prison sentences should be shorter, advocate for shorter sentences in state statute. I expect actual prison time to closely resemble what is in the law. Not to be able to lop off 75% of a sentence. 15% reduction earned through “good time” is fair and reflects truth in sentencing.

Prisoners can still get out early, they just can’t wipe away a whopping 75% of their sentences with “good time.” That’s absurd, Victims of these crimes and the public at large should be able to expect truth in sentencing.
