Bill Summary:

The bill sets forth a process for a person in prison to petition for resentencing and for a court to impose a new sentence if:

The offense resulting in the conviction was committed when the petitioner was younger than 21 years old and the petitioner has served at least 20 calendar years incarcerated for the offense; or
The petitioner is 60 years old or older at the time of filing the petition and has served at least 20 calendar years incarcerated for the offense.
At the hearing on the petition, the petitioner has the burden to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the petitioner no longer presents an identifiable danger to the safety of any person or the community and that there is good cause for the court to modify the sentence. Certain offenses require that the prosecution agree that the interests of justice would be served by departure from the sentence initially imposed.

Upon the court finding that the petitioner has met their burden, the petitioner is permitted to file a motion for reconsideration and reduction of the initial sentence pursuant to the Colorado rules of criminal procedure. At the hearing on the motion, the court shall determine and impose the appropriate sentence.

Colorado bill would allow ‘second look’ hearings to shorten some prison sentences

Colorado lawmakers are set to consider a bill this year that would allow sentencing reviews for some people in prison who have already served a significant amount of time.

Senate Bill 26-115 passed its first committee hearing last week on a 4-3 vote and now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

“The heart of this policy is to encourage people who receive long sentences to sign up for programming, to embrace accountability and to do the hard work involved in the rehabilitation that changes their lives, their approaches and their futures,” bill sponsor Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, told fellow lawmakers.

“As a Legislature, the most destructive message we can send is that we’re indifferent to their change,” she said. “Human beings need hope. Second (look) hearings provide that motivation.”

People who hurt children in this way are irretrievably broken and cannot be rehabilitated. Even if they could, they don't deserve it. Period.

The point went over your head.

They love murdering 3000 children every day using abortion.

A few rapes aint gonna bother them.

Maybe it's because the bill they want to pass is automatic death penalty.

SLOW AS frick PRO

Your so on the wrong side perhaps your a pervert

Considering left wingers gleefully murder their own babies and brag about it they're not very likely to mind if someone rapes yours

Two AWFLS and two cucks

Beaux Duke voted for them (probably).

I’m not joking.

how could a felony conviction of rape not already mean mandatory prison time.

If the victim is over 13 and there’s not an aggravating factor like force or infirmity, “ordinary” statutory rape/third degree rape doesn’t carry a mandatory prison sentence in Louisiana.
