Wow! A bill in the Washington State Senate, SB5266-52, would grant early release to convicted murderers who… er, “only” committed two murders or less when they were 18 years old (https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/03/bill-could-allow-early-release-for-juvenile-killers-if-they-didnt-kill-more-than-two-people/).
The reason for letting them out of jail at 24 years old is–get this–is because the brain isn’t fully developed till the age of 24.
Sounds like some state senators’ brains aren’t fully developed yet, either.
Oh! And they also want to give “rental vouchers” to released murderers. Out of jail early and live rent-free!
Of course, if you’ve murdered three victims or more, you’ll have to serve at least 20 years.
A similar bill has already failed in the Washington House. (The Senate to the rescue: “Let ’em out!”
Why do Democrat senators want to do this?
Damned if I know.
