Dec. 15, 2021 / Embed
Prosecuting gun crimes has been one of my top priorities since getting to the General Assembly earlier this year, including appropriations for more gun prosecutors in Philadelphia and Delaware County, appropriations for the Joint Local-State Firearm Task Force and a study of prosecution rates and sentences for gun crimes across the state, among other legislation to be tougher on gun and violent crime. In these remarks, I discuss the reintroduction of Act 58 which expired earlier this year, allowing the Attorney General concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute gun crimes in Philadelphia.

He spent less than one year in prison total for his 3rd, 4th and 5th DUIs - all served at one time. The head-on collision happened in Upper Chichester (just outside our district), which makes this a moment of tragedy and responsibility in our community.
