The segment on DC crime was full of just outright lies by Sagaar.

1) There's never been a policy in DC to not prosecute all kids. Kids under 15 can't be prosecuted as adults, but there is NO age limit for prosecution in DC (along with 45 other states) in youth court. Rehabilitation is the focus of youth court, but thats decades old Supreme Court precedent.

2) Kids who are 15 can be prosecuted as an adult with judicial waiver, and kids 16 and up can be prosecuted as an adult on a prosecutors prerogative. Any time a child, or an adult, is given a non prosecution offer, we have to look at the specifics of the case! The case could be weak (Constitutional problems, witness problems, evidence problems), the kid/adults could be a first Offender, or the judge could just be feeling generous.
