The US needs this kind of law. With multiple people switching from Dem to Rep after elections are done, it really undermines the will of the people. Most of them didn’t vote for that specific person because they love that specific person. They voted for someone who represents their ideal government. So when that person does a 180, it should open them up to being kicked out by the party or put up for a special election.
So a 15 year old has been in prison for 15 years for a conviction based solely on witness IDs from a book of photos. Two of the three witnesses said in court they weren’t 100% sure their ID was correct. There was absolutely no other evidence linking him to the crime.
At this point, even if he is guilty I might feel like 15 years is a good sentence for a first time offender who was only 15 at the time of the crime.
