Lauria and Ashley’s Law moves closer to final passage
Rep. Steve Bashore, R-Miami, today welcomed Senate passage of a bill that would add accessory to murder in the first or second degree to the list of crimes that would require an offender to serve 85% of their prison sentence before being eligible for consideration for parole. Those convicted also would not be eligible to earn any type of credits that would reduce the sentence to below 85% of what was imposed.
