Debra Harvey of Oneonta, N.Y., whose daughter Lindsay, a Gaithersburg woman, was killed in April 2008 by a repeat violent offender whose early release from prison came in part through diminution credits, wrote a three-page letter to legislators.
She said that after more than one year of meetings, hearings and trials, she watched her daughter's murderer sentenced to life without parole plus 20 years in prison.
"I don't know whether this means he will die in prison or whether he will get out of prison again somehow," Harvey said. "I don't know what to believe and I have no confidence in the Maryland judicial system."
