Thousands of pedophiles are being released from California prisons in less than one year thanks to Democrat policies. More than 7,000 of the convicted child abusers being released from prison were found guilty of ‘lewd and lascivious acts with a child unde...
I'm a lawyer in California so I know how shit actually works here. I'm not a criminal defense lawyer but I've done consulting worked for them and worked on criminal appeals and post-judgment matters like probation and parole.
Prop 57 was a direct democracy prop, so it was voted on by all voters, not Democrats. It won 65/35.
Section 32 states, “Any person convicted of a nonviolent felony offense and sentenced to state prison shall be eligible for parole consideration after completing the full term for his or her primary offense.” It defines “full term” as the longest term of imprisonment excluding enhancements, consecutive sentences, or alternative sentences.
What this means is that if you have a non-violent offense, you are eligible for parole after you serve your time for your primary offense. This doesn't matter unless you have enhancements adding to the time. So if you have no enhancements, you don't see any change. If you do, you might. The main issue here is that California can get out of control with all the enhancements it has.
Originally the Department of Corrections excluded sex offenders even with minor offenses. The California Supreme Court ruled that they could not do so.
the article contains a lot of lies:
False. Everyone serves their full sentence for their primary offense.
not everyone convicted of a sex offense is a pedophile. using the words like synonyms is simply flat wrong and it's wrong on purpose. sex offenders include men caught pissing in public and high schoolers who had consensual sex with younger high schoolers.
This means nothing, since these people could have spent many years in jail waiting for trial and gotten credit for all that time.
yes, and? Unless you're prepared to LWOP or death penalty all of them, yes, they're going to get out. Duh. Absolutely nothing in the article provides any evidence that any of these people are getting out EARLY due to Prop 57 specifically.
Reminder that pedos who lacked the self-control to not diddle kids and got busted will diddle kids again once out of jail at a rate nearing 100%.
The judges who set them free know this.
Rape sounds like a pretty violent offense to me.
