That's reserved for serious crimes now. Welcome to the wacky world of "we can't arrest our way out of this problem"

A man who Austin police say killed his cousin in 2014 in retaliation for his brother's drug-related death was sentenced to two years in prison. Steve Alvarado, 50, agreed to a negotiated plea of attempted murder -- a second-degree felony -- on Wednesday for shooting his longtime nemesis, Paul Charro, in the chest outside of Charro's home in East Austin.

People are getting 2 years probation for doing multiple rapes now.

"An 18-year-old accused of sexually assaulting two high school classmates is facing two years of probation despite the district attorney's office's recommendation of two years in prison. David Becker, of East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, was charged with two counts of rape and one count of indecent assault and battery, according to court documents, after an April 2 incident in which he was accused of digitally penetrating two girls who were sleeping in a bed after a house party. Becker and the alleged victims, who are not being identified, were all seniors. On Aug. 15, Becker's case was ordered continued without a finding for two years by Palmer District Court Judge Thomas Estes. As a part of his probation, Becker must remain drug- and alcohol-free and not contact the victims, the court documents state. He also has to undergo an evaluation for sex offender treatment, according to the Hampden District Attorney's Office. The district attorney's office also said that if Becker does not violate his probation, he will not have to register as a sex offender, as the charges will be dismissed at the completion of probation."
