Hey, it’s Julianne Murray and I am here for the Murray Monday Minute.
For this Monday, we are going to talk about Title 11, 1448, Person Prohibited1.
There are a lot of different things that make people a Person Prohibited, but the one most people are familiar with is any person having been convicted in this state or elsewhere of a felony or a crime of violence.
So, that means any felon, anybody who has committed a crime of violence is a person prohibited.
Why do we care? Well in many cases, there is a five-year minimum mandatory on the first offense for a Person Prohibited.
Again, why does that matter?
There is a report here from 2021 from our statistical analysis center that says, in 2019, Person Prohibited there were 1200 total charges, 200 of which hadn’t been heard yet because of all of the COVID delays.
So, a 1000 cases, 852 were dismissed. 852 out of a 1000 were dismissed when they could have been facing a five-year minimum.
Think about that. Think about the criminals that are on the streets because they were not in jail where they should have been.
There is the Murray Monday Minute.
