Letter: Too much leniency for repeat criminals

Nov 24, 2024

Malia Lajala, aka Malia Rivera, was charged Monday for allegedly shooting at her ex-boyfriend. Someone please explain to me how it is possible that this convicted and sentenced criminal was out of prison. A repeat offender, in January 2020 she was given a six-year jail sentence. With that in mind, and given her reported background, how is she on our streets and shooting at people?
