[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a decriminalization bill I really wish people would read[/quote] Not officially but that's the effect of it. It allows people to demand jury trials for everything. That sounds good in theory but the reality is that every criminal would be crazy not to demand a trial for everything knowing the courts will be swamped and won't get to their case for years. That gives enormous leverage to criminals because prosecutors will have a huge incentive to plea everything down, if people are even charged in the first place. [/quote]
