CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM THE CALIFORNIA WAY

Pretend The Past Never Happened

by Bob Walsh

Assuming SB731 makes it thru the legislature and is signed into law it would REFORM the criminal justice system by pretending the past never actually happened.

If passed this bill would seal the criminal record of a person once they got out of the slammer and cleared probation or parole assuming they got no new CONVICTIONS within two years of their release.

If some guy got busted for a commercial burglary and has done ten clean years on the outside that is one thing.  If he got drunk and murdered somebody in a bar fight and got it bargained down to manslaughter, I am not sure I am comfortable with that.

The purpose is to help ex-offenders reintegrate into society.
