I was under the impression that the city hired a part-time D.A. to ONLY prosecute crimes in Antioch. If his/her check comes from the county then Antioch will be picking up $100,000 of it. Hopefully this will have a long term impact on crime in town. Word will travel quickly if these people are not let off with the minimum sentence. I know that now adays, when you go into court, the judge almost always gives you the minimum sentence to prevent cases from going to trial. I understand it's a money thing, but this is getting a little rediculous. This woman had an out standing warrant(means she had a prior offense for something) before the police chase incident. Then she picked up a case for that incident. Now, she is back on the streets committing more crimes. Although I don't agree with their logic, but why not commit crimes if there are no consequences? Hopefully the new D.A. can change the pattern a little bit. Maybe 4Antioch can elaborate a little for us about who pays the new DA and what he/she will do. It is however nice to hear that these people are being caught. I think that the APD does a great job of finding these crroks and catching them. Now if we can just get them to be punished, maybe they can put a small dent in the rising crime stats.

My home was broke into two times in one week! We recently moved to a new house and the one we're moving out of has been broken into twice, once last mon. and again on tuesday! I have lived in this town my whole life and never have I seen it this bad! I have to say the police dept. was very helpful on both occasions, They even let our daughter help them look for prints:)  I just wish people could have more respect for others and thier property!!! The people that did this still have not been found but we hope they are soon. I'm not at all hoping to get our things back just hoping these [bleep]s are caught and punished!
