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.
