“[W]hen you take an oath to do justice, it is not defined … in the maths of maximizing charges, convictions, sentences…. [I]t’s defined in the cost, the benefits, and the effectiveness of what you are doing.”
“We are never going to incarcerate ourselves to safety and we are never going to change our communities by only putting people in prison. Public safety does not require us to adhere to an outdated and ineffective tough on crime approach.”
“In many ways, what we are doing is trying to make our criminal legal system more closely resemble what it claims to do, but too often does not: find the truth, hold people accountable, and make communities safer.”
