Guest: Patrice Sulton, founder and executive director of DC Justice Lab.
DC’s Criminal Code has not been revised in full since it was imposed by Congress in 1901. Resulting confusions include the fact that use of self-defense spray carries the same penalty as use of an assault weapon. Learn more and let your opinions be known before the Council votes on November 15.
More information, including some links for further exploration into the history and details of the Code and its proposed revisions, at We Act Radio.
