[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the IRAA law allows for resentencing after 15 years no matter the nature of the crime. This is what Allen would like extended through age 25.  Since 2016, about 12 under age 18 murderers and 2 rapists have been released through the first IRAA act he legislated. The judge that Allen excoriated declined to revisit the sentence of a 17 year old convicted of a series of violent home invasions with a group of friends, in which he committed multiple rapes at knifepoint- of a married couple, of roommates (they attacked a house and a group of young women sleeping on multiple stories) and of course a woman and her 9 year old daughter who they happened upon at home, attacking both. Allen's complaint was that the judge considered the nature of the crime over the defendants jailhouse behavior in declining to reduce his sentencing. Hence, the Posts point today that the Dayton and El Paso mass shooters would also qualify under this proposed IRAA 2 Act.[/quote]Hey people, the judge declined to release that offender early. Sooooo....wouldn't that mean that the law is working the way it's supposed to work?  [/quote]

Why would Allen write him a nasty letter in that case, which he did.[/quote]My guess is that Allen knew something about this young person that led him to believe that he was rehabilitated.  Since I haven't seen the petition I don't know what the situation was with this person and whether Allen was correct or not.  But regardless, the judge still makes the decision - not Charles Allen - and the law worked the way people on this thread want it to work.  [/quote]

And then Allen chastised the judge. That sort of seems like interference?[/quote]
