Senator Wanggaard: Evers' Commutation Plan Put Violent Criminals First

Published | Video Starts at 00:57

Some of Wisconsin's worst criminals could go free. And even more troubling is that he set up a special process for felons who were juvenile sentences to life sentences. There's only a handful of them in Wisconsin, actually eight total, with four eligible under Evers criteria. Don't get me wrong, I support second chances as much as the next guy, especially for kids. A few years ago, I was working on a bill to allow for review of juvenile life sentences. (00:57–01:03)

CLAIM
