A prosecutor knows this because they've stood in that courtroom.
Jay Jones has never understood this because he's not a prosecutor.
He's a politician trying to save his career.
The reality is that Jay Jones was in court for going 116 miles an hour on Interstate 64.
Four people were in court that day, were going roughly the same speed.
Three of those four people got suspended or active jail sentence.
But Jay Jones is a politician, and he asked the court not to give him any of that, to give him community service.
And instead, we now know he misled the court.
That community service, it wasn't done for a charity.
It was done for his own political action committee that he controlled.
Oh, that's awful.
all across this Commonwealth, whether it's a Confederate flag hanging on the highways here in the Commonwealth, whether it is our restrictive voting laws that we've worked to update in the legislature.
We've got so much work to do.
We know that our system is inequitable and unjust.
If you've ever been to a correctional facility or a jail in this Commonwealth, you'll see that the faces are predominantly black and brown.
That doesn't make any sense.
We've got to make sure we update this system, start from scratch to make sure that it's going to work for every single person.
As a black Virginian who has experienced racism and discrimination firsthand, I know what this is all about.
You have to look at the evidence.
