DEMS REMAIN SOFT ON CRIME – BILL WOULD ELIMINATE “LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE”

SB1370 was introduced by Sen. John Edwards. The bill is summarized here:

Repeals the abolition of parole. The bill requires the Virginia Parole Board to establish procedures for consideration of parole for persons who were previously ineligible for parole because parole was abolished and to allow for an extension of time for the scheduling of a parole interview for reasonable cause.

This means that even the worst criminals, such as serial killers would be eligible to get out of jail.
