[5] The Senate confirmed her nomination on November 21,2019,by voice vote. [6]
In 2023,Hertzfeld was criticized by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for allowing a 15-year-old facing robbery and theft charges to be released home instead of holding the teen in a secure facility. The teen was allegedly involved in a fatal carjacking days later. Hertzfeld said that there was not enough room in youth shelter housing to hold the suspect and criticized the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. A Superior Court spokesman also placed partial responsibility on the D.C. Attorney General. While criticizing Hertzfeld,Bowser erroneously stated that the teen had been arrested 6 or 7 times for carjacking previously. The teen instead had 12 previous charges of robbery as well as charges of weapons possession,destruction of property and receiving stolen property. [7] [8]
