Norton recommended that President Obama nominate Smoot to serve as commissioner and then chair of the Commission, which has jurisdiction over District of Columbia-code felons. I am heartbroken by the passing of my friend Patricia Smoot. Patricia worked throughout her career to ensure fairness for returning citizens and safety for the residents of the District of Columbia. I extend my deep condolences and sympathies to Patricia's family on behalf of myself and D.C. residents. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
