[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused... isn't the law to reduce the time served closer to what they would serve if they were convicted today? They are not given a reduced sentence [b]unless they judge agrees[/b], they have proven to be rehabilitated, had good behavior, have a recommendation from a mental health professional and the victims' families agree.[/quote] 15 years is not what someone would serve today for the crimes covered by this act, mostly murder - often youth on youth. It's a reflection of Allen's - and our city's approach to youth offenders, now defined by the proposed revised IRAA Act as up to age 25. The fact that he scolded a judge who did [b]not[/b] agree in one case of resentencing, shows the pressure he is willing to bring to bear for the 500+ violent offenders who would be up for resentencing.
