: TalkLeftCA Introduces One-Strike Bill for Sex Offenders
By Jeralyn
Move over Jessica, Megan and Laci. Here comes Chelsea. A bill has been introduced in California mandating life in prison for some first time sex offenders.
On Monday in Sacramento, Kelly and Brent King announced a bill called Chelsea’s Law, named after their daughter. The bill notably includes a “one strike” provision that would allow prosecutors to pursue a life sentence without parole for forcible sex crimes against a minor when there are aggravating circumstances like torture and kidnapping.
Legislation should never be passed out of grief and passion or in response to a singular event, no matter how horrific. Cooler heads are needed when our fundamental liberties are at stake. One size justice is no justice at all.
