Udoff appears at the City Council Meeting

A representative of Justice for Safety asked the City to support legislation to require criminals to serve a majority of prison sentences that would make communities and streets safer. He referred to the murder of a Grove Park Apartment resident who was shot and killed in April 2008. The suspect had a violent criminal history and instead of serving a 12 year sentence, with diminutive credits, the suspect’s years were reduced for good behavior to six years. All concurred that the matter should be discussed at a future work session.
