A progressive Virginia prosecutor this year dropped charges
against a felon with a history of gun charges. Months later,
that felon killed two innocent men.

In July, Francis Rose shot two "innocent bystanders" in the head
while robbing an apartment complex in Alexandria, Va., according
to police. In February, he was freed from jail by the office of
Arlington County commonwealth’s attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti
(D.). Rose, who was already on probation for illegally carrying
a weapon in Washington, D.C., was arrested in October 2020 for
possession of a firearm and possession of cocaine and fentanyl
with intent to distribute.

The double murder is the latest instance where soft-on-crime
Virginia prosecutors enabled violent felons. Dehghani-Tafti’s
ally Steve Descano (D.), Fairfax County’s top prosecutor,
released three offenders with gun charges who each went on to
murder. Both prosecutors’ campaigns received over $600,000 from
the Democratic megadonor George Soros. Like Soros-backed
prosecutors across the country, Dehghani-Tafti and Descano have
abolished cash bail and pushed for decarceration.

"What happened in Alexandria was senseless and tragic," Virginia
attorney general Jason Miyares told the Washington Free Beacon.
"Unfortunately, it continues to be true that the vast majority
of violent crime is committed by the same repeat offenders."

Police announced the double homicide of Adrian de Jesus Rivera
Guzman and his step-son, Juan Carlos Anaya Hernandez, on
Tuesday. Rose’s victims were landscape workers who had escaped
gang-led violence in their native El Salvador.

Arlington police arrested Rose during a traffic stop in 2020
after finding a loaded handgun, cocaine, and fentanyl on him. In
February, a county judge ruled the search unconstitutional. The
evidence was not legally admissible because the drugs and gun
were "appended" to Rose rather than in the car, his defense
attorney argued, according to the Washington Post. Dehghani-
Tafti’s office dropped the charges following the judge’s ruling
and criticized the arresting officers’ conduct.

But before the ruling, a prosecutor in Dehghani-Tafti’s office
praised the officers’ conduct, according to the Arlington
Coalition of Police. Her office held Rose in jail without bond
for more than a year before his trial, the law enforcement group
said, implying prosecutors believed the officers had acted
lawfully.

Rose will appear in court on Oct. 28. He faces up to 40 years in
prison for each count of second-degree murder. Juan Hernandez’s
wife told the Post she hopes he will stay behind bars this time.

"I know that if he’s in prison, my son and husband, they won’t
come back," Laura Hernandez said. "But this man can’t get out.
He can’t get out."
