One of two men arrested for the July 4 shooting death of D.C. transgender
woman Deeniquia Dee Dee Dodds, 22, is among at least 121 defendants given
lenient sentences under the D.C. Youth Rehabilitation Act since 2010 who a
short time later have been charged with murder.
According to a Washington Post investigative report, cases similar to that of
Dodds, in which a D.C. resident has been murdered by a youthful oender who
had been released from jail or served no jail time for a prior violent criminal
conviction, has prompted a heated debate among policy makers.
The rst of two lengthy stories on the subject, which the Post published on
Dec. 4 and 5, mentions another LGBT-related case in which a gay man was
severely beaten in 2013 while being called anti-gay names by 20-year-old twins
Christina and Christopher Lucas.
In August 2015 a D.C. Superior Court jury found the Lucas twins guilty of
both aggravated assault and the designation of the incident as an anti-gay hate
crime. In an action deemed highly controversial, Judge Yvonne Williams rejected
a request by prosecutors for a 15-year jail term and sentenced the two under
the Youth Rehabilitation Act.
She initially sentenced both to one year in jail but triggered more controversy
by lowering Christina Lucass sentence to six months in jail on grounds that
Christina Lucas an open lesbian could not commit a true hate crime against
another gay person.
In response to objections led by prosecutors, Williams rescinded the lowering
of Christina Lucass sentence and recused herself so that another judge could
make the nal decision on the sentencing. A second judge conrmed that the
sentence should be one year in jail under the Youth Act.
The Post story points out that about one year later, in September of this year,
the Lucas twins were re-arrested. Court records show that Christopher Lucas
was charged with making threats to do bodily harm and Christina Lucas was
charged with obstructing justice and resisting arrest for allegedly trying to block
police from arresting her brother.
The two Post stories on the Youth Act report that advocates for crime victims
are raising questions about the eectiveness of the law. Should it be repealed,
scaled back or left in place based on the intent of the D.C. City Council, which
passed the law in 1985 at the recommendation of then Mayor Marion Barry?
Barry and all but one member of the 13-member Council at the time said the
Youth Act was needed to give youthful oenders a second chance in life, which
supporters of the law said could help transform them into productive citizens.
But critics, the Post reported on Sunday, point to defendants like Shareem
Hall, 22, who has been charged with rst-degree felony murder while armed for
the Dodds slaying.
Court records show that Hall was one of four masked men who invaded
the Northeast D.C. home of a family in 2013, held the victims at gunpoint, and
ransacked the house. Court records show Hall was sentenced under the Youth
Act in that case, which resulted in his being released from jail on probation in
2015, about a year before he was charged in Doddss murder.
Youre telling me you can come back out on the streets and rob again, hold
people hostage again, kill again because of the Youth Act? the Post quoted
Joeann Lewis, Doddss aunt, as saying.
A police arrest adavit says Hall and three other men allegedly targeted
transgender women for armed robberies in three locations on the night that
Dodds was found fatally shot in the neck on July 4.
Hall and Jalonte Little, 26, have been charged with rst-degree felony murder
while armed in connection with the Dodds murder. So far the police and court
charging documents do not identify which of the two pulled the trigger.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told the Post she believes judges, prosecutors, and
defense lawyers have come to misapply the Youth Act at the expense of public
safety.

her decades-long sentence to the six-anda-half years shes already served at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. Convicted in 2013
of violating the Espionage Act, Manning
has served time in prison longer than
anyone else in U.S. history convicted of
leaking classied information.
Obama has authority as president to
grant a pardon or commute the sentence
ofindividuals convicted of federal crimes
and has used that power to grant relief
to more individuals than the previous
11 presidents combined. If Obama were
to grant clemency to Manning, he would
have to take action before President-elect
Donald Trump takes oce on Jan. 20.
Among the LGBT groups that signed
the letter are BiNet USA, COLAGE, the
Family Equality Council, GLBTQ Legal
Advocates & Defenders, Immigration
Equality, KhushDC, Lambda Legal, theLos
Angeles LGBT Center, National Black
Justice Coalition, the National Center
for Lesbian Rights, National LGBTQ Task
Force, the LGBT labor group Pride at
Work and theTransgender Law Center.
One LGBT group that isnt among
the signers is the Human Rights
Campaign. A spokesperson for the
nations largest LGBT group said the
organization lacksthe expertise to weigh
in on the appropriateness of the length of
Manningssentence.
We continue to be concerned about the
treatment of Chelsea Manning during her
connement, HRC Government Aairs
Director David Stacy said. As she serves
her sentence, she deserves the same
thing that any incarcerated person does
appropriate and competent medical care
and protection from discrimination and
violence. This is something we have and
will continue to make clear with ocials.
An Army intelligence analyst who leaked
classied documents and diplomatic
cables to Wikileaks, Manning has been
a controversial gure. Supporters say a
video of a Baghdad airstrike she made
public exposed war crimes the United
States committed during the Iraq war, but
opponents point to a subsequent dumpof
251,287 State Department cables as
evidence she was indiscriminately leaking
information andjeopardized the lives and
work of U.S. intelligence analysts.
Manning, who came out as transgender
on the rst day of her sentence, has
faced challenges in federal prison and is
conrmed to have attempted suicide at
least twice.
The White House didnt respond to the
Washington Blades request forcomment
Monday on whether Obama would grant
clemency to Manning.

a form of discipline.
Yasmeen Pitts OKeefe, an ICE public
aairs ocer, also said in an e-mail that
ICE has a zero tolerance policy for any
kind of abusive or inappropriate behavior
in its facilities and takes any allegations of
such mistreatment very seriously.
In 2015, ICE came out with its
Transgender Care Memo, a set of
policies that, according to Pitts OKeefe,
was the result of a six-month agency
working group that examined issues and
concerns related to LGBTI detainees and
incorporates input from transgender
individuals who visited various nonfederal facilities across the country to
observe best practices.
ICE also has a designated national
LGBTI coordinator and eld oce liaisons
for local ocers. Pitts OKeefe reports
that detainees have access to a tollfree number where they can report any
abuse, even anonymously if they choose,
and a ier about the hotline is posted in
every ICE facility.
Yet neither Pits OKeefe nor Burns
addressed my question about the seeming
discrepancy between what the ocial
policies are and the rst-hand accounts of
LGBT immigrants detention experience.
Flor Bermudez, the detention project
director at the Transgender Law Center
in California, fills in some of the gaps,
especially about ICEs Transgender
Care Memo.
One of the biggest criticisms is that
its optional, she said. The one facility
where they are doing it is Santa Ana [in
California]. Because this policy is only
optional for facilitiesthe culture in the
entire system has not changed.
Santa Anas city jail has a special
transgender unit for immigrants, but
Bermudez calls it terrible and said
when detainees at other centers consider
disclosing their transgender status, they
know the consequences will be solitary in
Eloy or [a transfer to] Santa Ana. Many of
them choose not to disclose and they are
exposed to the risk.
Finally, she said LGBT sensitivity
training for sta at the detention centers,
at least as it concerns trans people, is
inadequate.
Theyve developed a one-hour video.
The video has Caitlyn Jenner as an
example of a transgender woman. It also
has a transgender immigrant cartoon. The
traininghas no backup of an enforceable
policy. Its not helpful or ecient.

Heres why LGBT people must ght Price conrmation for HHS
A homophobic nominee who
would undermine Medicare
By STEPHEN FORSSELL, Ph.D.
This week, President-elect Donald
Trump named Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) as
his nominee for the post of Secretary of
Health and Human Services (HHS). There
will no doubt be Trump nominees for
whom a conrmation ght will not be
worth the battle. This is not one of those
instances.
The Price pick was not unexpected his
name was on the administrations short list
from early on but it nonetheless should
be of great concern to all LGBT people as
well as healthcare providers of all stripes.
For the last 10 years I have worked with
colleagues on advisory groups with the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and other HHS programs and initiatives, as well with the Pan
American Health Organization with the
goal of providing culturally competent

We are clearly living in the alternate universe of Donald Trump. He is handling the
formation of his government like a segment
of Celebrity Apprentice, throwing out suggested names for various positions in his
Cabinet and saying to the world only he
knows who gets the job. He holds a rally in
Cincinnati, eggs on the crowd about how he
campaigned against Hillary Clinton until they
start chanting lock her up. Then he grins at
the podium. He jokes about what should be
a serious announcement of his Secretary of
Defense using Ret. Marine General James N.
Mattiss nickname Mad Dog. Then he goes
older gays and lesbians continue to assimilate in urban space and no longer feel a
strong desire to live in gay neighborhoods,
as fears for physical safety decrease and
mainstream acceptance increases. Second, millennial LGBTs, coming of age in a
time of greater acceptance, show more interest inintegrating rather thansegregating and are content trading propinquity for
digital connection. Third, long-established
gay neighborhoods, in desirable locations
with quality housing and attractive amenities resulting from signicant neighborhood investment, became appealing to
mainstream buyers and residents. In this
sense, gay neighborhoods became victims
of their own success.
The outcome of the 2016 presidential
election has placed LGBT Americans on
edge. Seemingly rational trajectories of
mainstreaming LGBT Americansgreater legal protections and equity under
federal law, ever-increasing social acceptance, diminishing risk of discrimination and increasing safetyare now seriously threatened as a new and evidently
conservative regime takes control of the

VIEWPOINT
Over the last year, however, the situation of human rights defenders has deteriorated. A major campaign began in state
media against certain emerging forms of
journalism, against alternative newspapers. It reached a climax a month before
Fidel Castros death: Massive detentions
when we did not expect them. The arrests
appeared to be an inexplicable remedy in
the new context of dialogue.
The great funeral that ended in Santiago de Cuba proves that the era of mass
mobilizations, the era of dichotomies
and political fanaticism has not ended in
Cuba. Fidel Castro left behind a country
accustomed to a single command and a
charismatic leadership, a failing nation
that responds to political diversity with intransigence that still works eectively for
the Third World and countries that have
recently moved to the left, but rule of law
does not work domestically.
Independent activists, these islands
of civil society who endure, predicted
desperate reactions. Repression will increase. They await new attacks against
forms of journalism that are beyond state
control. Of course, the samizdat newspapers are already unstoppable on the web.
They cannot be burned like papers.
LGBT rights activists, however, remain
discouraged because it is impossible for
us to associate with each other. The fact
that some groups function does not imply
that a true movement capable of channeling the demands of a community with
so many historical debts exists.
Fidel Castros death leaves us with
everything to do. Political reform is still
pending. The system is preparing theirs
and there are many indications that it will
reform the military, to build some credibility in their exercise of power.
The following has yet to be done: Marriage equality and the press law, administrative decentralization and a pluralistic
Parliament. In short, democracy is about
to happen without the historic generation of the Cuban revolution, without
Fidels absorbing trajectory. Yes, we will
have the clearest way.

Terry Johns was drawn to the Washington Revels because the performance
outt combines so many things song, dance, theater, graphic arts and more.
The Revels, a Washington institution for more than 30 years, are dedicated
to celebrating cultural traditions that have bound communities together
over the ages and across the globe. Their productions could be staged or
informal, large or small, a blend of pros and non-professionals as well as
all ages involved. Its annual Christmas Revels show, featuring community
sing-alongs, pub songs, parades and more, will run Dec. 10-18 at the Lisner
Auditorium (730 21st St., N.W.).
This years show will celebrate the winter solstice traditions of Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden over eight performances featuring a
cast of more than 100. Tickets are $12-60. Details at washingtonrevels.com.
Johns, TJ, works by day as a chef/chocolatier at the Perfect True in
Frederick, Md., where hes lived the last four years after many years living in
D.C. He says what the Revels oer is dierent.
As an artist myself, Ive had the opportunity to work with many incredible
artists, says the 45-year-old Pensacola, Fla., native. But this organization
brings us all together in a much dierent way. There is a sense of family and
belonging with these wonderful people.
Johns is in his third season with the Revels. Hes engaged to Aaron Sahle, his
partner of ve years. He enjoys travel, photography and spending time with
Sahle and their two dogs and two cats in his free time.

pianist is on stage throughout the entire
show, directors Noah Brody and Ben
Steinfeld needed to see how Rees worked
with actors before oering a contract.
This isnt for everyone, says Rees, 25,
who spent three months with the show in
London before kicking o the American
national tour earlier this year. Being on
stage throughout the show and being a
part of the story telling forces him to use
new concentration muscles, he says.
When youre a conductor or pianist,
youre usually in the pit half paying attention
to dialogue, waiting to hear the warning cue.
You play, and then you check your email.
Here Im one of a small group of people
onstage. I feel so much more connected to
the material. I even have a couple lines
little narration things. This is part of why its
so special and rmly an ensemble piece.
Featuring a score by Sondheim (Agony,
Stay with Me, On the Steps of the
Palace,) and book by James Lapine, Into
the Woods blends the fairytales Cinderella,
Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the
Beanstalk and Rapunzel with an original
story of a childless baker and his wife who
long to shake a curse and have children. Act
one focuses on the characters tales and in
act two, the characters wishes come true
and not always happily so.
Fiascos Into the Woods is stripped of all
fairytale ourishes, so dont go expecting to
nd castles, thatch-rooved cottages and
an eerie dark forest. Rees describes the
set as an exploded piano and the props
and costumes appear culled from greatgrandmothers attic Jacks golden-egglaying hen is a feather duster for instance.
The production invites the audience to
use its imagination and become part of
the shows journey. Its for this reason
that No One is Alone, the closing
number considered a little syrupy in some
productions, works so well here, says Rees.
While earning a degree in music theory
and composition at Indiana University
Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington,
Rees (who grew up outside of Boston)
worked part-time as accompanist for the
schools main stage where he realized
theater would be his profession. After
graduation he moved to New York and
began his career in earnest. Rees bio
boasts Broadways The Visit starring
Chita Rivera and numerous tours.
Touring involves long separations from
home. When Im in doubt about doing the
next tour, my boyfriend encourages me
to take it. Hes an artist and understands
that its part of the job, Rees says.
Rees was introduced to Sondheim at 14
when his parents took the family to see
the Broadway production of director John
Doyles Sweeney Todd, another radically
pared-down Sondheim revival. To prepare
for the show, my dad came home with a
CD of the shows score. I was heavy into
classical piano at the time, but Sondheims
work spoke to me on levels. I dove in head
rst and went for it. And that was the
beginning of a lifelong fascination for me.
Sondheims music is legendarily tough
both to play and sing. Rees agrees, but
says, Into the Woods is probably his
most accessible work, and when youre
doing Sondheim with people who really
know how to act which is one of the
privileges of being a part of this Fiasco
production and know how to mine the
material for what makes it tick, its easier
to perform than you might think.

REALESTATE
The full impact of the DONALD TRUMP administration remains unknown, but a reduction in
the federal workforce would certainly hurt the D.C. market.
years in terms of business in the fall market. If anything, it may have been slower in
the late summer months and a bit busier
than usual in the nal month prior to the
election. Well see what December brings.
Our prediction for the New Year is
similar. Despite all of the media coverage around the election and administration change, we dont anticipate any major changes. We do expect some possible
growing pains as our area decides how
quickly change might come to Washington
and what that change might mean for
them. Democrats may be a little more pes-
simistic about the economy while Republicans may be a little more optimistic. This is
Washington,so that is nothing new.
Heres what to look out for in monitoring where we go from here: The biggest
threat to our local market is a potential
major reduction in the federal workforce,
or another government shutdown. If that
doesnt come to pass, there shouldnt be
any major impact from the election or
the new administration on our housing
market or local economy. If the promised
tax breaks do come into eect, we might
even see a small surge in the market as
paychecks feel larger and the monthly
budget inates. The change in interest
rates is something to watch, though a
slow rise likely wont do much to change
the market.
Stay tuned! We will continue to monitor
the market to let you know if anything changes. In the meantime, its business as usual.
