Juror Complains to Judge About Sentencing for Acquitted Conduct

[Cancel 2018. 3]

The legislators were probably just trying to adopt as wide a definition as possible in response to the "get tough" criticism of the parole system, while also trying not to displease those who would be opposed to outright abolition. Of course, states can consider parole however they want to constitutionally, since its not a right. Judges doing using some of the same practices in what is supposed to be a fair trial is simply not acceptable.

in other states that is true, however, in CA parole is a right because the way the law is written and as such, CA inmates have a constitutionally protected interest in being granted a parole date....
