AZ Ballot Proposal Could Mean Big Changes in Criminal Sentencing

Probable cause is determined in a preliminary hearing or through a grand jury.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A potential Arizona ballot measure would allow leniency for judges when sentencing a defendant.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]A ballot measure that could reverse a 1970’s era Arizona state law is creating quite the buzz. Why is it so important? It would give judges the ability to cut the length of a sentence below the minimum sentence for any non-violent crime. This could mean a first time offender, under the discretion of the judge, may walk away without having to serve any jail time.
