A suspect arrested in connection with last weekends mass shooting outside bars in Sacramento served less than half his 10-year sentence because of voter-approved changes to state law that lessened the punishment for his felony convictions and provided a chance for earlier release.

Smiley Allen Martin was freed in February after serving time for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, according to court and prison records.

Those count as nonviolent offenses under California law, which considers only about two dozen crimes to be violent felonies such as murder, rape, arson and kidnapping.


Get your shit together, California.

Let out early implies it was originally considered bad enough to justify a longer sentence no?

Does it possibly mean he was a good, well behaved prisoner and given retrospective leniency for that? Man was just biding his time

But violent criminals have feelings too and should be treated with compassion because of feelings

I wonder who we would blame if he had served his whole sentence and committed this crime in 2027 instead

Theres always pearl clutching like this when it turns out someone who committed a crime had committed one before.

A person who served time in a system basically designed to get people to reoffend reoffended

should we just lock everyone up forever?

or maybere-examine the system as a whole? Nah that would make too much sense
