Thank you, Chair.
A lot of the work we've done with respect to access to justice, with respect to trafficking—and I've always tried to provide a gender lens on the work we do here—in light of the epidemic, I would think, of mental illnesses and our failure to understand them.... From what I've heard from the department, it seems to me that this must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, whether somebody should be pursuing through indictment or summary. A prosecutor should be pursuing it through indictment or summary based on the individual in question or the individual charged here.
I don't think I can support this amendment.
