Скачать или смотреть Proposed Bill Extends Compassion And Vacates Felony Convictions | Sen. Manka Dhingra

Let us extend compassion and empathy toward imprisoned women AND men who were victimized and later committed crimes. Men are the vast majority of people in prison, and the trauma they experienced in their childhood and adolescence matters.

Senate Bill 5180 would allow for vacating certain class B and class C felony convictions for people who provide an affidavit proving, by a preponderance of evidence, that their offense was committed as a result of being a victim of sex trafficking, prostitution, or commercial sex abuse of a minor; domestic violence; or sexual assault. The bill's prime sponsor is Senator Manka Dhingra (45th District).
