House Republican Leader Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, on Wednesday issued the following statement slamming Democrats’ partisan sentencing commission:
“House Democrats know Michigan residents don’t want violent criminals let out of prison early, so they’re creating a commission stacked with Democrat appointees to give them political cover to free dangerous offenders. Keeping murderers behind bars keeps Michigan communities safe, but Democrats’ radical, unpopular sentence-slashing would demolish public safety. Michiganders beware: Democrats’ partisan commission is a Trojan horse for prison breaks.”
House Democrats on Wednesday passed House Bills 4173 and 4384, which would create a commission primarily stacked with Democrats to recommend new sentencing laws. Hall recently joined crime victims in opposing Democrats’ legislation that would allow murderers, rapists, and other violent offenders to request and obtain lower prison sentences after only 10 years.
