A man who pleaded guilty to armed rape and armed kidnapping in 1992 is seeking an early release from prison under Washington, D.C., law.
Joshua D. Haggins was 16 years old when he and a friend abducted two women at gunpoint and raped them overnight in a Maryland motel room. He and his friend sexually assaulted the women repeatedly and forced them to dig their own graves, according to the Washington Post.
Haggins and his friend were arrested after Haggins raped a third woman, and both pleaded guilty to crimes in Maryland and D.C., including armed rape and armed kidnapping. He was sentenced to 34 years to life in D.C. and 30 years in a separate case in Maryland.
Under a D.C. law known as the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (IRAA), Haggins petitioned a D.C. Superior Court judge for early release in 2022.
A D.C. judge will hear arguments about Haggins’ early release Thursday. His attorneys will argue that Haggins, now 47, is no longer addicted to drugs and alcohol as evidence of reform in prison, the Post reported.
Will thos responsible for releasing them early accept full responsibility should they commit future crimes?
Not should they, it’s when they
I call BS!!!! There is no way these punk hoodlums should ever be out of prison!! This is the kind of soft punishment that keeps the crime high and getting higher all the time.
DC has no law and no matter what the crime everyone gets off with little to no jail time. Remove their governor and mayor and replace all involved in their courts, DA , and every department. Dumb and dumber for having this kangaroo system it is supposed to be the capitol of this country we have failed by allowing it to exist for far too long.
What an asshole. Keep him locked up. At 16 doing those things is pure evil, not drugs.
Their familys should be waiting for him !!!!!
To Take him OUT !!!!!!
Release he and let nature take its course. The families might have something to do with his lifespan.
