Pirro said in her own remarks that she wants Congress to repeal locally ratified laws that stripped the power to prosecute minors from the US Attorney\u2019s Office \u2014 giving it instead to the elected DC attorney general \u2014 and that let judges set aside the prison sentences of people under age 24 who commit crimes.<\/p>\n
She has repeatedly highlighted the July sentence of probation for a 19-year-old who pleaded guilty to shooting a stranger in the chest on a bus.<\/p>\n

Tarpinian-Jachym, a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the Isenberg School of Management, was working as an intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kan.).<\/p>\n
Police said that hundreds of hours of surveillance camera footage were reviewed to identify the suspects.<\/p>\n
Other high-profile murders in DC have not been solved despite plentiful surveillance footage in the capital \u2014 such as Dr. Rakesh Patel, 33, who was murdered with his own car following a 2002 carjacking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
