Leftist Prosecutor Terminated for 'Deliberately Misleading Court'

June 16, 2022

There has been a backlash nationally over prosecutors who were recently elected in a push by far left groups with support from billionaire George Soros

One of those is Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney Buta Biberaj, who is now in middle of a controversy over an alleged misrepresentation of the criminal record of a felon in order to secure a lower sentence in a plea deal. County Circuit Court Judge James Plowman removed Biberaj and her office from the case. ... Biberaj (who described herself as a "progressive prosecutor") lashed out at Miyares and told him to "stay in your lane." At issue is the plea agreement given burglary suspect Kevin Enrique Valle, who was charged with three misdemeanors for destruction of property and false identification, and two felonies for burglary. ...The judge said that he was told that the crimes occurred within a matter of hours last year. Instead, the crimes were alleged to have occurred over "a possible 12 burglary crime spree spanning four counties over 10 days." Valle reportedly has more than 40 cases that have been brought against him in various counties throughout Virginia. However, it was the record in Loudoun that drew the ire of the court.

Judge Plowman accused Biberaj's office of "deliberately misleading the Court and the public." He, therefore, ordered "Biberaj ... REMOVED AND DISQUALIFIED from further prosecution as counsel of record in this matter." "This is a specific message to Attorney General Jason Miyares, 'Stay in your lane' Your lane is in Richmond. Your lane is being the attorney general of Virginia. You are not the elected council attorney and definitely nor for Loudoun County. Since his election, he's been wanting to undermine the good work that we do as progressive prosecutors." She further questioned Plowman's authority to remove her office. The omission in this case is deeply disturbing. This appears a habitual offender and the specifics on this criminal record is key to any court in deciding whether to approve a plea. That does not mean that a court could not consider his age in erring on the side of leniency. However, the court must be fully and accurately informed of the defendant's prior criminal record.
