To be clear, I already find the pro se motion highly objectionable—it’s not “just” anything in my eyes. This guy got extremely light sentences for his crimes, given the severity. And looking now to net your incarceration for killing a man against your incarceration for other crimes (which I recall involved PCP, resisting arrest and assault on an officer, and probation violation (relating to earlier drug and violent crimes, like the assault and domestic violence/sexual assault charges) isn’t right. He had the opportunity to understand his plea agreements when he signed them.

I’m also not yet able to get the full text of the December 14th filing by the new PD and am working off of the reference in the government’s motion to extend. He may only be trying to get a concurrent sentence. He may be trying to renege and renegotiate in full. I found the reference in the government’s response to the burdens they’re facing under the “Incarceration Reduction Amendments Act” to be troubling—though I don’t know much about this new law other than that you’re supposed to have been under 25 years of age and to have served 15 years before eligible for review. Given the significant press given to abuses under the Youth Rehabilitation Act (see the WaPo multi-part expose circa 2016), I don’t have any confidence that a leniency law might be improperly applied.

They literally are though.

Thanks, I appreciate it

You don't get life in prison for manslaughter.

Nice!

>Little, who is eligible for release to home detention in October 2026, is now attempting to back out of his plea deal. Court filings show that Little believes the 8 years he is serving for killing Salovesh should get a haircut for the additional 11 months he’s supposed to serve for some of those other crimes. He filed a motion in mid-December to have his guilty plea and sentence vacated.

The pro se motion he filed a year ago says he's just asking to be resentenced for the sentences (112 months on the manslaughter charge and 10 months on the violation of probation for possession of PCP) to run concurrent. Did the appointed lawyer broaden the request to vacate the plea in its entirely, or are you just basing it on the title of the Government's motion to extend time? I can't get CCO to show me the 23-110 motion filed by Mr. Clennon in December.

Also, for anyone who is looking on CCO for the case, it's 2019 CF1 005457.

Try Makan. It’s Malaysian

>going 76mph down Florida Avenue, NE in a stolen van attempting to evade police... struck another car at a red light and propelled into Salovesh... traces of PCP found in his blood

This judge should be investigated.

Pretty insane

And if you're taking the train up there, you might as well go check out the B&O Museum. The roundhouse is spectacular and the stuff they've got in the repair shop can be just as cool. The Allegheny is an absolute monster that needs to be seen up close to be believed.

Thanks. I’ve crossed posted to BikeDC and will update if an advocacy effort gets underway.

Killing someone and only spending 8 years in prison. An absolute travesty of justice.

These worthless piles of shit should be tried, found guilty and given the death penalty.

it helps in some situations and not in others

Unless you are saying the justice system that serves DC is not the DC judicial system… you are incorrect

Sure, but an AUSA is not the DC judicial system. That was what you responded to.

I've been to The Lafayette in Hay-Adams Hotel which is the roof terrace restaurant across the street from the white house.

We went during cherry blossom season and they had a Cherry Blossom special afternoon tea so desserts were cherry blossom themed. It was pricey, $85/pp with champagne ($65 wo) but it actually was a lot of food and they packed the leftovers us lol. We sat outside on terrace which was fantastic. I think everyone who wanted a terrace view got an outdoor table.

I've done afternoon tea at Mandarin Oriental (now salamander) and would definitely pick The Lafayette for ambience and quality of food.

Great special occasion spot.

I was celebrating my mom and we walked to check out blossom after.

Clicked on this thinking someone was spilling some tea…

Dave was a fantastic guy - he and I worked in the same building for a long time, and I also used to see him absolutely everywhere, including but not limited to towing his daughter’s bikes through the years. He never acted condescendingly towards women bikers, and just was incredibly welcoming.

I was heartbroken when this tragedy happened. Please tell me where to sign. I hope you also posted in r/bikedc; if not, please do.

I really can’t appreciate you enough, I didn’t even know OTA existed. Thank you

I bet the first train was late.

Actual LOL

Best of luck! Landlords often take naive tenants for a ride every chance they get, especially large buildings where they know what they can get away with when tenants don't know any better. It's not your fault. Luckily, DC tenant rights are pretty strong and protective if you know better.

That’s a genuinely great outlook on life. I suspect that you’re going to get tremendous utility out of it.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation.
