The commission believes criminals should not be given stronger sentences if they commit more crimes while on probation or parole, or even if they’ve escaped custody. That will mean lower sentences for criminals who commit murder, rape, assault, robbery and felony DWI!
Worse yet, sex offenders currently receive double points for their custody status, so eliminating this part of the grid will disproportionally benefit the worst criminals in our system.

“Walz appointees seek to dramatically weaken felony sentences (Minnesota)”
He wants them to do 3/4 time.
I’m not necessarily against this IF they restore mandatory minimums for the lower thresholds.
It’s ironic because the leftists imposed this grid and the mandatory guidelines to begin with because most judges were conservative and would throw the book at criminals and they hated that.
Now that they think the judges are all leftists they want to give the power back to the judges and water down the mandatory standards they argued for to begin with.
Again - it’s not about the law (never was) it’s about what the power they want.

The left can’t fill the jails with their prisoners (us), if they are already full of ours (them).
It is just not fair that criminals serve more jail time than non-criminals. /s
These people don’t want to see criminals served justice by the system? They’re *really* not going to like the results of the vigilantism that will ultimately result.
Exactly—one of the key reasons for criminal law is to avoid vigilante scenarios because victims and their families are persuaded that justice is being served.
Once the confidence is gone, all bets are off....
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT!!!
Vote them out.
While increase tax on a product means less of the product, decreased penalties on criminals means more crime.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT!!! Vote them out.
