Luis Morales murdered a little girl and was convicted in 1996 and sentenced to 25 to life, and yet is totally free and off parole already. "Blast and Franco tortured the young girl before stabbing her repeatedly... Prior to being killed, Blast had reportedly sexually assaulted the girl."
Scum should have been executed. Libtard New York let him go in under 25 years. I can tell you for all the shit you people give California. California would never let someone out that early if ever, and afaik if you get released on parole in a life sentence crime, you're on parole for life. You never get off.
Not surprising at all that a mentally ill murderer would exploit the trans status to his own gain.
killing a jogger in self defense? life without parole?
kneeling on a criminal who overdosed on fentanyl? convicted of murder.
defend yourself from a black criminal who pulled an illegal gun on you by restraining him on the ground? get executed in the back by his girlfriend and the democrat party head of the state refuses to press charges on her, giving state complicity and approval in your execution.

California is fairly good when it comes to crime statewide, with the exception of the new bizarre under $950 rule. The problem is that Soros DAs refuse to enforce the laws properly, and that federal oversight forces California to release tons of violent criminals.

That's widely misreported. It's just that under $950 is a misdemeanor, which can still get you 6 months in jail. It also moves up to a felony if you have priors. That isn't the problem, the problem is libtard DAs who drop the charges or divert all of them so the criminals aren't punished at all.

True, this happened in SF and even the libtards up there recalled him.

CA prisons were grossly overcrowded and the USSC was right to force them to reduce to reasonable levels. CA actually was guilty of being TOO tough on crime compared to most other states, because of the prison industrial complex and prison guard unions. Now things are being more in line with the rest of the country, with the exception of a few extremely liberal cities not prosecuting people.

In effect though, I think it means that nothing happens. Clearly, it is taken much less seriously.

The white liberals voted to keep him, but the black residents that they haven't priced out of their city voted against him.

I thought you believed in constitutionalism. Where in the US Constitution is there a mandate to have "reasonable levels" of imprisonment - regardless of who decides what is reasonable? You can read Heather Mac Donald's work on how disastrous this whole reduction has been on California.
"lock em all up" is a retarded view that is often held by right wingers because they know nothing about the system and think that they're safe, so "fuck em" to everyone else. The truth is that mass incarceration is extraordinarily expensive and a waste of taxpayer money. There needs to be a layered approach of jail, probation, parole, and finally prison, instead of "just stuff them all in prison". contrary to popular belief, most people don't engage in recidivism. people who commit 1 crime are not "bad apples" who need to be locked away forever. even the 3 strikes laws, which got gutted as overly harsh, recognized this. California is a weird state where Republicans were so successful in outflanking Democrats on crime, that the Democrats went all-in on the police state and started wholeheartedly pushing for mass incarceration. It is only very recently that Democrats have been brave enough to try to roll back some very limited laws.
That doesn't mean I'm "soft on crime". All the BLM rioters should have been jailed and weren't. All the petty criminals in blue cities should be jailed and aren't. The problem with the system isn't short jail terms, it's the excessively long sentences given for certain crimes and the ridiculously large number of "enhancements" so that a crime that might get you 5-10 years in other states could end up with 50+ years in California. And the DAs see it as a mark of pride to get the biggest numbers they can instead of being reasonable. The judges, who are almost all former DAs, happily go along instead of moderating.

idk who that is but I live here and I know better than she does. Realignment was a much-needed roll back of the absurd police state that California had become.
the primary result of realignment was to shift prisoners to county jails. the secondary result was that some of the lowest level offenders in county jails and prisons were shifted to probation or parole. people with serious felonies, violent felonies, or sex offender status were excluded from these reductions.
today, California is roughly in the middle of the pack for incarceration rates, without grossly overcrowded prisons. that's a better result. we needed the USSC to step in because the Republicans here are stuck in permanent "lock em all up" mode and the Democrats are cowards.
This is probably the only time I have ever agreed with the liberals on the USSC, and it's because I saw the clusterfuck of the system with my own eyes, and saw the complete failure of any "political" solution.

literally wood chipper.
Meanwhile those guys who chased Aubrey down the street are in for double-life.
The guy who was attacked by a BLM mob in Minneapolis and fired warning shots in self defense (no one died) got like 60 years.
Fields got life + 300 years or something for lardass Heather Heyer having a heart attack when she fell over.
No justice in this world. Act accordingly. No one looks hard for missing scumbags.

welcome to black supremacy.
only when they're black criminals.

Brown v. Plata, 563 U.S. 493 (2011), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States holding that a court-mandated population limit was necessary to remedy a violation of prisoners’ Eighth Amendment constitutional rights.
