New Bill Would Greatly Reduce Prison Sentences for Worst Offenders
April 14, 2023 | California
A new California bill would let some of the state’s worst criminals, murderers and serial rapists walk out of prison despite sentences of death or life without parole.
The bill was written by state Sen. Dave Cortese and co-authors, including San Francisco’s Sen. Scott Wiener, who wrote a prior bill that decreased the punishment for knowingly infecting someone with HIV.
It would let some of the state’s worst killers and rapists go free after serving 20 years, despite far longer sentences. (Excerpt from Fox News.)
