Since taking office in 2023, prosecutors in Bates's office have increased requests made for the mandatory minimum prison sentence of five years without the possibility of parole. In 2023 and 2024, prosecutors asked for the mandatory minimum sentence in 1,723 out of 2,443 total cases, or 70.5% of the time. The number was 35.7% in the two years prior under his predecessor, Marilyn Mosby.
In her second term as the county's state's attorney, Braveboy and her office have secured an over 90% conviction rate for homicides, and she has also fought against predatory lending practices. Earlier this month, she won the Democratic primary for county executive seeking to replace Angela Alsobrooks, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in November. She will face Republican Jonathan White in the June 3 general election.
