GOOD GUYS WITH A GUN – Uvalde is not an isolated case. “An armed Oxford High School security guard failed to stop a mass shooting that killed four students and injured seven others, thinking the attack was a drill and that one student was wearing “really good makeup” as he bled to death.”

JAIL SENTENCE CREDIT – A sentence of incarceration is to be reduced by crediting 1) 1.5 to 1 for every day of pre-trial custody (to compensate for the loss of statutory remission) and may be reduced by 2) an undetermined credit for onerous and harsh jail conditions (Duncan credit) and 3) an undetermined credit for restrictive judicial release conditions (Downes credit). Of the remaining balance, statutory remission is granted after 2/3 is served.
