Here’s a quick homework assignment….go google Paul Morrison and prison reform, or sentencing reform, and see what cases pop up.
Because the case turns the traditional concept of a judge’s powers on its head, on Tuesday, Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers authorized a petition to the United States Supreme Court to hear an appeal of ‘Ice.’Already, the case has generated intense interest among “sentencing nerds” across the country, Williams said. Myers’ office has already received inquiries from Alaska and Pennsylvania concerning how it will react.
