FMEP Co-Sponsors Senate Bill 94 Authored by Senator Dave Cortese

Felony Murder Elimination Project is co-sponsoring Senate Bill 94, authored by State Senator Dave Cortese, for consideration in the current California Legislative session. Under the measure, incarcerated persons who have served at least 20 years of their sentences and whose crimes were committed before June 5 1990 may petition for judgers to review special circumstance crimes. In creating a process for the review of cases that haven’t been looked at in decades, judges will have the discretion to leave a sentence unchanged or apply a lesser sentence.
