I Oppose SB94

SB94 just passed State Senate and is on its way to the Assembly to be voted on before Labor Day, and it could mean big changes for those convicted of serious crimes. It's important to understand how this could impact our community.

I urge all of Gilroy citizens to contact Assemblyman Robert Rivas, who represents the Gilroy area, to vote No on SB 94.

I would like to quote the post by Cheryl Parks for those who are not on Nextdoor or in the post's "neighborhood". If you are on Nextdoor, you can read her full post here: https://nextdoor.com/p/5CmYYjrpTtY7?utm_source=share&extras=MjQyOTk4OQ%3D%3D&utm_campaign=1724098204660

The following is from Cheryl Parks' post:

“SB94 authored by Senator Dave Cortese (D-Santa Clara) initially stated that those "individuals convicted of murder, even with special circumstances up to and including multiple victims, or killed in concert with rape, robbery kidnapping or torture and who received a Death Sentence or Life without the Possibly of Parole prior to June 5th, 1990 - be given the opportunity to be provided with a public defender to petition the courts for re-sentencing, which would then allow them to have their sentences invalidated and make them eligible for parole." It was shelved last year but recently reenacted and passed on the California State Senate floor. Although Cortese later amended it by dropping the opportunity for Death Row inmates, it is important to note that SCC District Attorney Jeff Rosen is currently working hard to resentence individuals on Death Row to Life Without Parole, which means they too would be eligible as long as they didn't kill a police officer or murder more than two people.”

Thank you Cheryl for your dedication!
