or for aggravated assault (which is assault with a deadly weapon)??

why the fuck are violent criminals so frequently not prosecuted or underprosecuted?

This is exactly what Krasner promised he wouldn't do when he pitched his progressive prosecution experiment, but we have how many dozens of easy examples of the Krasner Kids committing heinous crimes after he released them for their prior violent crimes?

It's because his office is too incompetent to prosecute even the layup violent crimes since Krasner fired all the senior ADAs

Krasner seems particular bad about this, but it's always been this way to some degree. Even 10-15 years ago when you read a news article about a homicide, you could scroll down to the final paragraph and read that the suspect had 15 arrests on his record.

Agree it's been that way for a long time. At least under Lynne Abraham, I think there was some deterrent effect to commiting crimes under the "deadliest DA." Then Kenney went on to beat her in the Mayoral primaries and look where we are.
