Progressive criminal justice fails to protect murdered Baltimore tech CEO
The murder of Maryland tech CEO Pava Marie LaPere has sparked a debate about progressive criminal justice reform and the release of violent offenders. LaPere's suspected killer, Jason Dean Billingsley, was an ex-con who had been released early from a 30-year sentence for rape. Experts argue that the early release of violent sex offenders is a growing epidemic and poses a risk to public safety. They believe that these offenders are unlikely to be rehabilitated and are more likely to reoffend, including committing murder. Critics of progressive reforms argue that they have left society vulnerable and that politicians have been gaslighting the public.
