Legislation Would Ensure Some Criminals Serve 100% Of Their Sentence
The Tennessee Conservative ^ | 04/12/2022 | Nikki Goeser

There is legislation that is making its way through the state legislature called the Truth In Sentencing Bill that would expand the list of offenses that would mandate an inmate serve 100% of their sentence. I SUPPORT THIS BILL and let me tell you why.

Right now, victims are lied to everyday in criminal courtrooms across Tennessee when they are told their attacker will serve 100% of their prison sentence. How do I know? THIS HAPPENED TO ME.

In 2009, my husband Ben was brutally murdered in front of me. Ben was shot seven times inside a busy Nashville restaurant by a man who had been stalking me. When the police searched my stalker’s vehicle at the crime scene, they found two more guns, ammunition, a baseball bat, binoculars, gloves, rope and a knife. The police discovered he made a number of physical preparations that very day. He purchased a shoulder holster, the binoculars, and bat. He even went to several locations that we were known to frequent, looking for us. When he couldn’t find us, he asked multiple acquaintances where we might be. He then proceeded to hunt us down, and murdered my husband.

More innocents will be killed by murderers who are not executed (in prison, or once released or if they escape) than will be killed by the state in erroneous executions.

This woman’s husband’s murderer is one such person. He deserves death, not release from jail where he can stalk and finally kill her.

YES!

ALL (not “some”) criminals should serve 100% of their sentence.

NO PAROLE! NEVER!

As it is now, when a killer gets paroled, does the dead person get to come back to life?

Until they do, NO PAROLE!

“Good behavior” ? Are you kidding me?

Was it “good behavior” that got them sentenced to prison?

Maybe they should have “behaved” in the first place and they wouldn’t BE IN PRISON!

NO MERCY!

Why do so many criminals reoffend?

BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN PRISON ANYMORE!

BECAUSE THEY GOT OFF EASY WITH PAROLE!

I agree. Sooner or later, he will take her life. In spite of what the lawyers say during the trial very few inmates sentenced to life die in prison. They are released.
