Good intentions sometimes have nothing to do with actual consequences, we were told that this would only allow low-level, nonviolent criminals to go free. I didnt believe it, and I didnt believe it because I read the bill. And now we find out that in the first traunch of prisoners let free, 500 committed weapons or explosive crimes, 250 committed sex crimes, I think there were 60 or 70 that were guilty of homicide or aggravated assault. And those are not low-level, nonviolent criminals.
