INTERVIEW | How Crime Novel Became Reality for 8 Cities With ‘Rogue Prosecutors’

Violent criminals are being given a “slap on the wrist” and released back onto the streets in eight cities across America, says author Charles "Cully" Stimson.

Between the "defund the police" movement and the election of “[George] Soros' bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors, crime exploded,” says Stimson, co-author of the new book “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America's Communities.”

The term “rogue prosecutor” refers to “those who are funded by, or inspired and supported by, the George Soros network,” says Stimson, who is a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Stimson's co-author, Zack Smith, is also a legal fellow there. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

Soros is a left-wing billionaire who has used his vast wealth to further the Left’s agenda, including spending “$40 million in [district attorney] races,” Stimson says, adding that in cities where these “rogue prosecutors" have been elected with Soros money, crime has spiked.

As an example, Stimson compares two cities, “San Diego and Philadelphia, tied as the seventh-largest cities in the United States."

"The difference between a real prosecutor in San Diego with [District Attorney] Summer Stephan and a rogue prosecutor like Larry Krasner [in Philadelphia] absolutely impacts your public safety privilege. And both big cities [have] gangs. San Diego [is] right on the border by Tijuana, Mexico. ... Philly's on [Interstate] 95; so, the corridor between Baltimore and New York City. Big highways. Last year ... Philadelphia [had] over 550 murders. San Diego, guess how many? Fifty—10 times less.”

Stimson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the spiking crime trend in cities with rogue prosecutors at the helm and to share stories of the lives of people who have been tragically affected by criminals being released back onto the streets.
