“Steve Descano completely failed Stephanie.He’s failed other people, and he will continue to fail other people unless he is just voted out of office,” Ashton Minter, one of Stephanie Minter’s brothers,told local reporters.

Another one of her siblings, Gary Minter, echoed his thoughts.

“It should never have happened.[Jalloh should’ve] never been out in the streets,” Gary said.

Cheryl Minter, Ashton’s mother, expressed alarm that Jalloh’s record hadn’t stopped his release.

“I just know that what is in your heart, it’s got to be horrible to be able to do things like that and allow somebody, anybody back onto a street that’s capable of what they’re saying,” Cheryl Minter said.
