Kudos to the Washington Post for this: the first in a series of stories about a mother whose 9-year-old daughter was shot to death by a repeat offender at her father's house in Silver Spring (the girl's father was also killed in the attack).
The Post should be commended for focusing its reporting on a victim's mother, as opposed to a perpetrator that got one too many second chances and used his newfound freedom to break the law yet again.
Maybe if more stories like this get published then people will be motivated to seriously re-examine the criminal justice system in Maryland and in the nation and put pressure on their elected representatives to make serious changes.
