Bill Summary
Relative to holding habitual, violent offenders responsible for simultaneous crimes. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to remove language that limited the sentencing of habitual, violent offenders to crimes that arose from separate and distinct incidents that occurred at different times, where the second offense occurred subsequent to the first conviction. The changes in this bill allow for the sentencing of habitual, violent offenders to be based on simultaneous crimes, rather than just sequential crimes. This gives the courts more flexibility in sentencing repeat violent offenders.
