10. Let's look at carjacking. Right now in DC there is a single carjacking crime with a penalty that ranges from a minimum of seven years to a maximum of 21 years. That increases to a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 40 years if the perpetrator is armed. — PolitiTweet.org

9. What do the revisions to the DC code actually do? The purpose was not to reduce the prison population or lessen the penalties for various crimes. It was to comprehensively update a code that was written in 1901. https://t.co/B7jYIahQdO — PolitiTweet.org

11. As a practical matter, however, no one gets sentences longer than 15 years. Judges do not impose 40-year sentences for carjacking because that is the "same penalty as second-degree murder, and more than double the penalty for second-degree sexual assault." — PolitiTweet.org
