District Judge Jennifer Schwartz made a bad decision by giving probation to Jesus Barraza, a reckless driver who killed someone with reckless driving, rather than jail time. This decision exacerbates the country's pedestrian death rate, which is one of the highest in the country and appears to have no consequences for killing innocent people. This type of sentence does not make our community safer and will be remembered for this decision by Judge Schwartz when she faces re-election.
