The initiative is a ordsprog

The initiative is a severe limitation of the number of crimes that can be considered for a life sentence. It involves the release of thousands of felons that juries, judges and prosecutors ... have decided ... should serve their sentences. We would hope that the people would pay attention to our vote.

What they decided to do was tell judges to do whatever you want as long as you make the sentences higher. Go ahead and give people multiple sentences and make them run consecutively. Go ahead and give people the maximum. But that's not what Senate Bill 2 was about. They seem to have taken away any ability for the courts of appeals to review a sentence.

For example, Georgia rarely sentences children to life without parole, but it has youth crimes rates lower than Missouri, which imposes the sentence on child offenders far more frequently, ... the harshest prison sentence possible.

This is a severe sentence. It really is, and with the [sex offender] registration requirement for the rest of his life and all the terms and conditions that he will have to comply with for the rest of his life because of probation, we'll get his attention we hope.

Untie the hands of state and federal judges and prosecutors, ... Give them options other than turning the courts into assembly lines that mass produce mandatory life-without-parole sentences for children.

It's the same that judges did before (the 1996 law). They are not required to make findings any more. We have a lot of problems with people appealing sentences with the idea the judge imposing the sentence didn't do it right.

Just because someone's convicted of a large fraud, you don't have to give him a life sentence. White collar crimes are deterred by even short sentences. White collar people don't need to see a 65-year-old get 25 years to be deterred.

It's not uncommon for them to serve short sentences, if they serve any sentence at all. That's not unusual nationwide. The guidelines the courts are bound by are not as strict as they probably should be.

[A television ad for the ballot measures began Wednesday in the two states. In the 30-second spot, McCain says that because of a legal loophole, felons have bought and sold thousands of guns at shows.] Many were later used in crimes, ... That's wrong.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Florida who do not have the right to vote. They have committed crimes many, many years ago, and they have turned their lives around.

I guarantee you there's no way there's going to be 150 new death sentences. Some defendants would have better lawyers, you'd have different juries which would be less likely to impose sentences, plus evidence will be older and witnesses will have more trouble remembering facts. There will be all sorts of factors.

Like the two juries that have deadlocked in February 2005 and now April 2006, Tenet and the prosecutors disagree over whether anyone at Alvarado Hospital Medical Center intended to break the law when they recruited physicians to the fast-growing eastern part of San Diego County. Because there is no reason to believe any other jury would produce a different result, we earnestly hope that the prosecutors will decide not to re-try this case a third time. It's time for all of us now to devote our full energies to resolving the broader issues.

We will ask that he serve the 10 to life and the five to 18 after that sentence. And then he would be eligible for parole. We wanted to have the additional time added to the sentence he already served.

We are extremely pleased to see judges hand down some strict sentences and to see prosecutors actively pursuing these cases. This sends a message that Kentucky is aggressively pursuing cases of insurance fraud, and those who are caught won't get a slap on the wrist. Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness. They will pay for the crime.

The irony is that a series of federal court cases designed to shift discretion from judges to juries have in fact ultimately sorted out in holdings that give judges a lot more discretion without having to state a reason. I suspect most judges would be happy with it.
