HOUSTON - No more “getting away with murder” in the Lone Star State: that’s the message from the Texas Legislature. The state Senate passed a bill on Wednesday - one previously approved by the House - that would take probation off the table for defendants convicted of first degree murder. The result: automatic prison time. No probation.
A 20-year-old man in Sacramento was sentenced to over 149 years in prison for raping two women at gun point, although the crime is shocking, what the man had to say to the victims left the courtroom in disbelief.
