“I am advocating and advocating jurisdiction over juveniles 14, 15, 16 and 17. They need to be brought to the criminal court so that we can prosecute them because if we do so we can prevent the murders of the third person here based on the history of these two people and the third person I can’t talk about,” Pirro said Friday.
Although the third suspect has not been arrested yet, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Pamela Smith said Friday that her “confident” authorities will arrest again in the case.
“These two arrests and the third arrest – I am confident that we will receive the third arrest – gives Eric’s loved ones a little peace as they continue to grieve the huge losses. Eric comes to our city and realizes a bright future in his role, serving the public on Capitol Hill. He deserves the opportunity to return his family safely, but he undoubtedly returns his lover from his family, he said. Smith said.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also attended a press conference denouncing gun violence in the city. But when asked about extending Pirro’s jurisdiction to include young offenders, the mayor declined to comment, simply saying: “We are here to talk about the 17-year-old being accused of adulthood because American lawyers have the power of a 17-year-old child.”
The mayor added that she agreed with Pirro’s consent that “cold-blooded murder” is a crime that can be charged with a 17-year-old as an adult.
