Angela Alsobrooks's prosecutorial record dents her crime rhetoric - Washington Examiner

Angela Alsobrooks was involved in plea deals during her roughly 15-year stint as a prosecutor.

Her Republican opponent, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan , has accused her of enabling higher crime rates.

Most of the guilty pleas in her prosecutorial career resulted in little or no jail time with suspended sentences.

Danny Harvell , 26 , faced charges of second -degree attempted murder, two for assault, and others related to drugs for fleeing from police in a car that resulted in an officer being dragged and injured.

In 2012 , a man accepted a plea deal for beating a 72-year-old with a baseball bat after trying to rob him.

In 2002 , Derrick Andre Cobb pleaded guilty to four of at least 14 charges, including two for theft and two for second degree assault.

Alsobrooks oversaw other violent and high-profile cases in which plea deals were reached.

Zavala was initially charged with two counts of child abuse by a parent and two charges of third -degree sex offense.

In 2001 , John Richard Wright pleaded guilty to two of five charges for sex offense in the fourth degree and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Alsobrooks has touted a 50% reduction in violent crime during her time as state’s attorney.
