DCWitness 2019 coverage

"Judge Iscoe said he was moved by the more than 40 victims impact letters from Salovesh’s friends and family. The letters contained testimonies to how gregarious,intelligent, and impactful the 54-year-old was, the judge said.  

“This is one of the most painful sentencings I have ever experienced,” he said.

Judge Iscoe agreed to the terms of the plea deal and sentenced Little to 8 and a half  years in prison for voluntary manslaughter with five years of supervised release. In addition, he ordered that Little participate in drug testing and drug treatment. 

According  to court documents,  Little was going 76mph down Florida Avenue, NE in a stolen van attempting to evade police. He then struck another car at a red light and propelled into Salovesh who was waiting at the light on his bicycle. There were also traces of PCP found in his blood."

Already got it easier than deserved.

This judge should be investigated.

My favorite part of the article is "Included in Judge Iscoe sentence is that upon release, Robert Earl Little Jr. will receive a new car of his choice and full restoration of license."

Wait why does someone who killed someone with a car while high on drugs and actively running from the cops get his license restored and a free car? Less than 8 years later?

Hey at this point I am willing to believe anything about the justice system in DC. Especially the license being restored
