Toolkit document [PDF] for use in support of SB 94.
SB 94, Judicial Review of Old Sentences, authored by California State Senator Dave Cortese, would create rigorous sentencing review for some individuals serving life without parole for offenses committed before June 6, 1990, and who have served at least 25 years of their sentence. Courts will review evidence of mitigating factors and rehabilitation, and judges will have the discretion to leave the sentence unchanged or to resentence the person with parole eligibility.
Contents of the Toolkit include news resources, links to downloadable graphics and fact sheets, and actionable tasks such as where to send letters of support and whom to call, as well as useful wording for social media posts.
