After gathering dust for almost a year the California Assembly is prepared to vote on SB 94 a bill that would allow lifers, in prison for murder and other such crimes, to petition for early release, KCRA Sacramento reports.
That petition would be pretty much assured of being granted as the bill would mandate that felons who have been in prison for at least 25 years would be assured of having their sentences reduced. Serial killers and cop killers would not be eligible for the early release program.
SB 94 was quietly moved from the assembly’s "inactive file" on Monday but that wasn’t discussed by legislators. The Democratic majority in the state legislature were prepared to vote on the bill a year ago but removed it from circulation.
