Briana Boston could get 15 years in prison?

8. this is why it's worth paying attention to elections for district attorneys

They have discretion on what gets charged and their role in our justice system is not properly understood or appreciated by most of the public. VP Harris describes the power and responsibility of the role best:

With the swipe of a pen, someone can be charged with the lowest level offense, and because of the swipe of my pen, that person could be arrested, they could sit in jail for at least 48 hours, they could lose time from their work/family, maybe lose their job. They'd lose standing in their community, all because of the swipe of my pen.

We are fortunate that Vice President Harris understood the gravity of this power and used it for good. The white general attorneys in Florida are likely not so careful or intelligent or gracious with this power...

The upshot of this, is perhaps we are entering a time when online threats will be policed more seriously. The story author, (Arwa Mahdawi, pronouns unlisted) also raises the excellent point that they are threatened regularly and the police do nothing. But if the attorneys are protecting medical insurers it does create the implicit obligation to protect other members of the public as well.

The greatest measure of your strength, is not who you beat down, but who you lift up.

Amen sister. Who is this FL AG lifting up?
