The Annual Report of theAtlanta Repeat Offender Commission

October 4, 2019

OVERVIEW

2

Crime in Atlanta often results from the repeated bad acts of a small number of individuals whose criminal histories are seemingly minimized by a court and probation system that quickly releases them from incarceration, whereupon the police arrest them again for newly committed crimes. Repeat Offenders are defined as persons who have three or more prior felony convictions.The leniency shown to these bad actors by the judicial system results in recidivistic crimes that prey on the public, often resulting in egregious injury or public fear by citizens and the neighborhoods who feel as if they’ve been terrorized. Regarding repeat offenders, the police do their detection job well. They know where the criminals live. They know where they commit their crimes. And they arrest and re-arrest these bad actors only to have these serial offenders sentenced to minimal incarceration, then freed to begin anew their criminal activity. • Why do the courts fail to incarcerate these felons? • Don’t law-abiding citizens deserve protection from serial felons? • Why are judges failing to incarcerate people who repeatedly choose to commit serious crimes? • Why do judges allow probation of persons, four-times convicted, who brazenly carry firearms despite prior convictions

and in violation of law?

The Atlanta Repeat Offenders Commission (AROC) was empaneled to examine the scope of this problem and offer recommendations to fix it. The AROC seeks to establish:• Greater awareness by the public of the repeat offender problem in Atlanta• Transparency into the sentencing decisions by judges, so the public has a clear line of sight into how each judge in

Fulton County Superior Court sentences repeat offenders• Recommendations to streamline the criminal justice process to ensure judges have accurate and timely information on

prior convictions of defendants who appear before them• Collaboration between the City, Fulton County and state agencies to track repeat offenders through the judicial system

Repeat Offender Report Highlights

3

Approximately 18% of felony cases adjudicated in Fulton County Superior Court in 2017 and 2018 were committed by ROs 1065 RO cases of roughly 6,000 felony cases in 2017 903 RO cases of roughly 5,000 felony cases in 2018

In 2017 and 2018, 23% of City of Atlanta repeat offenders were sentenced to Confinement by Fulton County Superior Court judges -- a decrease of nearly 14% from the 37% who were sentenced to Confinement in 2016

In 2017 and 2018, 22% of repeat offenders were carrying firearms when they committed the most recent crime for which they were convicted

Sentencing variability of convicted ROs to Confinement ranged from a low of 10% to a high of 48%

The most common sentence imposed by judges for ROs in 2017 and 2018 was “time served,” applied in 37% of cases. This represents the time a defendant spends in jail awaiting trial.In Fulton County, this averages 95 days, for a felon convicted of his/her fourth felony.

Multiple Repeat Offenders are defined as individuals who have multiple felony arrests by the Atlanta Police Department within the same year. In 2017, there were 67 individuals – 24% (16) were sentenced to serve time in prison In 2018, there were 86 Individuals – 36% (31) were sentenced to serve time in prison

REPEAT OFFENDER CASE EXAMPLES

A man with 10 prior felony convictions was arrested and charged in a 2015 burglary.

Convicted and sentenced in 2016 to 15 years of Probation (Adjudicating Judge: T. J. Bedford, Jr.)

In 2018, the defendant was arrested and convicted for entering an automobile and committing criminal damage to property and sentenced to two years of Probation (Adjudicating Judge: A. Dempsey)

Defendant was later arrested in 2018, tried and convicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Although prior felony convictions over 15 years, was sentenced to Time Served, which was commuted to a sentence of four years of Probation and entry to the Tall Pines Assisted Living program. (Adjudicating Judge: K. Ellerbe)

Three judges passed sentences on this felon who committed most of his crimes while on probation. The defendant was never sentenced to confinement despite a history of repeated violent offenses, each of which was a serious violation of his prior sentence(s).

A man with seven felony convictions since 2007, including convictions for aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, was charged in 2017 with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and, once again, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Sentenced to 15 years, meted out as three years of weekend Confinement, seven years of Probation and five years of a Suspended sentence. (Adjudicating Judge: S. Millender)

The offender’s probation was revoked after he failed three times to report to his Probation Officer.

The offender was re-arrested in 2019 again for violating his probation by failing to report and re-released.

After this release, he was subsequently arrested again for domestic battery and released 10 days later on a surety bond.

Just two months later, he was charged with criminal attempt to commit murder and aggravated assault.

Despite a 13-year history of convictions and increasingly violent charges, he remains free on bond while awaiting trial on his most recent offenses.

2016 Action Items / Recommendations Status

Agency 2016 AROC Action Items/Recommendations Status Make repeat offenders easily identifiable in the ODYSSEY database and tracked through the adjudication process quicker

> Progress made with the designation of "RO Non-Complex" Working to designate ALL identified ROs

Ensure repeat offenders are sentenced to the full extent of the law > In process to ensure Judges have info on all ROs

Work with the DA's office to ensure the RO's criminal history is complete at the outset of court proceedings

> Working to designate ALL identified ROs; new label/designation

Ensure all repeat offender probation violators are assigned to the previous judge Establish COMPLEX vs NON COMPLEX case assignments are "offender" based

> In Process with the Judges including the new ESP proposal from DCS > Completed and progress shown; More RO cases were heard in COMPLEX court in 2018 vs 2016. 48% increase

Create a RO option in the ODYSSEY database to assist in tracking throughout the adjudication process

> Created "RO Non-Complex" for cases of a lesser charge normally sent to Non-complex; now need one for ALL ROs

Work with the Clerk's office to ensure the RO's criminal history is complete at the outset of court proceedings Clarify at what point during the Complaint Room process is an offender established as RO and COMPLEX vs NON COMPLEX

> Working with APD & DA's office to ensure criminal histories are complete. The DA's Office identification of ROs by DA's office as "A" "B" or "C" with effectiveness seen in the improvement in COMPLEX court percentages > Confirmed id should be made before 'first appearance'.

Current 2019 AROC Recommendations o Publish quarterly scorecard of Fulton County Superior Court judges’ sentencing records for Repeat

Offenders.Impact: Invite public and media scrutiny to judges’ sentencing so the public can evaluate whether the judicial system is acting in best interest of public safety.

o Each RO defendant’s criminal history will be provided to the presiding judge at the sentencing hearing. Impact: Currently, cases often disposed without complete criminal history. Sentencing would be improved to comply with state statues that ROs be sentenced to full extent of the law. Our objective is to evaluate RO cases from the perspective of “the offender” rather than from the perspective of “the offense.”

o DA’s office to provide to RO Working Group an updated monthly list of all RO felony arrestees. Impact: Currently, tracking ROs in the judicial system is spotty. DA identification of RO cases will ensure greater real-time knowledge of ROs who are “in the system.”

o Fulton County Superior Court will provide a monthly report of all Closed Cases of ROs in Fulton County. Impact: Reporting RO cases within the current year will provide a timely view of RO processing by FCSC judges – adding another level of accountability.

o AROC Working Group will work to evaluate the judicial information flow and recommend technology enhancement needs. Impact: Currently, there are significant information gaps from RO processing from booking in the jail, Complaint Room, first court appearance. Lags in reporting from one stage of the criminal justice system to the next result in incomplete and inaccurate knowledge by agencies throughout the process from arrest, through arraignment, pre-trial activity and the trial itself.

8

Current 2019 AROC Recommendations o Establish a pilot program of enhanced electronic monitoring of the most severe repeat offenders. This will

include:- Waiver of 4th amendment rights, so that probationers can be searched at any time by a police officer- Imposition of a curfew (10 pm)- Possibility of banishment – prohibition of the probationer from presence in a specified locale

(usually the scene of past criminal activity)- Intense electronic monitoring by APD, as opposed to a third-party company.

Impact: Mandating severe restricts and more electronic monitoring of the most egregious ROs will assist the Department of Corrections in managing, tracking ROs on probation. This will also assist APD in identifying location of felons who are on probation.

o DA will designate all Repeat Offender cases in the Odyssey system, so all such cases are readily identifiable in Case Manager.

Impact: RO Working Group will track and report recidivism, highlighting how often “less thanconfinement” sentences of ROs result in new violent or other crimes.

o Ensure timely updates by APD and Fulton County law enforcement within the three different Odyssey case management systems.

Impact; Odyssey currently has three different case management systems, requiring timely and simultaneous updates to each to ensure accurate RO identification.

o Assist GBI in applying for federal grants from NCHIP to fund technology and training to capture timely and accurate RO criminal history information.

Impact: Fulton County ranks last in Georgia with open dispositions from GBI on criminal historieswhich leads to mismanagement and inadequate sentencing. Capturing this information in a timelybasis will provide judges with complete criminal histories of defendants.

ALL AGENCIES••Program Odyssey to store the true CCH run by jail for all entities to access and use as default.

••Explore CJEP participation as way to get Tyler Technologies to systematize Odyssey

Sheet1

AROC Workgroup RecommendationImpactLeading Agency

The Workgroup establish and formalize a process to ensure each RO defendant’s criminal history is provided to and read to the judge at the sentencing hearing. - The Enhanced Supervision Program presented by the Department of Community Supervision will be a key component of this process. - The ESP includes closer supervision of ROs on probation by DCS & APD; RO Conditions to be implemented by the Judge for ROs on probation; revocations routed into a ‘one judge/one offender’ system - This process will also include notification in the form of a letter to the assigned Judge of an RO case informing the judge of the impending RO caseKnowledge of the RO status is key to the RO hearings and judges' sentencing. Currently, cases are being disposed without complete information on the offender specific to their criminal history and status as an RO. This would improve the sentencing to meet the state statues of repeat offenders of being sentenced to the full extent of the law. AROC Workgroup with FCSC, DCS and District Attorney's Office

The DA’s office will provide monthly to the RO WorkGroup the list of all felony arrestees designated as ROs. A key problem in the process of tracking Repeat Offenders is Identification of ROs. The DA's Office is a critical part of the identification process. This list will be a strong benefit in the tracking process. District Attorney's Office

The FCSC will provide monthly notification of the CLOSED CASES in Fulton County of Repeat Offenders The reporting of RO cases WITHIN the current year will provide a timely view of the processing of ROs by the FCSC Judges. Reports will be generated of how cases are adjudicated adding another level of accountability from the judges to the citizens of Atlanta. FCSC

The WorkGroup will work with APD, the DA's Office and Magistrate Court to determine needed system updates and technology enhancements to the processThe Workgroup has identified gaps in the processing of ROs from identification; booking in the jail, Complaint Room and 1st Appearance. Many of these gaps involve simple communication snags resulting in a "revolving door" and bypasses for ROs at First Appearance because of this lack of knowledge of an RO, their warrant/probation status as well simple identification. With the improved communications from the systems used and the addition of an AFIS print reader in 1st Appearance court - ROs can be correctly identified. Updating the modules in the systems and/or RO paperwork will decrease the "revolving door" effect and minimize bypasses. APD, DA's Office/Complaint Room

Pilot of the eMonitoring with the most severe repeat offenders on ProbationeMonitoring (an electronic device on those ROs identified by APD as having committed more egregious felonies) will assist DCS in the monitoring of those on probation including joint DCS-APD field interaction meetings. Repeat Offenders will see a change in how ROs are identified, managed, tracked and supervised if on probabation in Fulton County; again holding them accountable. APD and DCS

The DA's Office will provide a designation or labeling of ALL repeat offender cases in Odyssey so ALL cases involving an RO is a part of the file in Case Manager. This will continue to improve the processing of RO cases based on the OFFENDER and not just the offense. The RO Working Group will track and report on the recidivism outcomes of ROs identified in prior RO reports: This recommendation will make the RO recidivism issue even more relevant because it will show how often the sentences of the current judges result in new violent or other crimes by offenders identified as ROs. Lesser felonies are heard in Non-Complex courts; causing many RO cases not to be heard in Superior Court and those that are heard; they aren't identified as RO cases in spite of the criminal history available to the court. With the designation placed on the files/cases as RO in Odyssey - those cases are directed to COMPLEX court and heard by Superior Court judges for stronger sentencing. The DA office and the FCSC on the recommendation of the 2016 AROC added the designation/label of "RO-Non-Complex" to lesser felony cases from 2017 on. The impact of this addition is apparent. However, the recommendation now is that ALL repeat offenders are identified and given a designation as such in the Attorney Manager and Case Manager of Odyssey.District Attorney's Office

Identify the steps to strengthen communications of identified repeat offenders throughout APD and the Fulton County law enforcement and judicial system including system updates to the three different case management systems within Odyssey. When an RO is identified by the DA in the Complaint Room; when this information is shared; better management of the case is possible by the DA, the Jail can provide better information to DCS regarding warrants/probation and the Judges will be better informed of how to sentence the offender. The AROC had identifed earlier the importance of communicating identified ROs thoughout the process. Gaps still appear.AROC Workgroup with APD, FCSC, and District Attorney's Office

The RO WorkGroup will assist GBI in applying for NCHIP funds to address gaps in the flow of criminal history information that were identified by the RO process mapping.Fulton County ranks as the top county within Georgia with open dispositions on criminal histories. This poses a problem in that if an RO's history is not updated; this will lead to incorrect management and sentencing should they reoffend. This program provides grant funding to state agencies such as GBI and this funding will cover time and technical skills needed for this project. GBI
