Dan O’Donnell investigates a brazen daytime shooting on State Street in Madison that yet again shines a light on the dangerous practices of the Dane County District Attorney’s OfficeDec. 2, 2022Perspective by Dan O’DonnellState Street in Madison is beautiful during the holidays. Instead, the Dane County District Attorney’s Office issued a municipal citation for disorderly conduct—which carries no jail time, only a fine—and released Jefferson from custody on Monday. Could this have been revenge on the who had punched Jefferson (or a man Jefferson thought had punched him) last week? The Dane County District Attorney’s Office, though, doesn’t believe much unsettling behavior is criminal these days, and it released yet another dangerous man to roam free on State Street. When exactly will the innocent people continually victimized by monsters like Lamar Jefferson get their Christmas wish for a restoration of sanity in the Dane County criminal justice system?
