HABITUAL FELONY OFFENDER ACT

 

HB 107 (2021) -

HABITUAL FELONY OFFENDER ACT

Does everyone know what this is?  Remember me talking about Overturn yesterday?  GUESS WHAT!  We about to overturn this thang right here!  It may not be today or tomorrow but it will be ON TIME.

The habitual offender act is allowing our judicial system to use past felonies against us to enhance our sentence in hind sight putting us in prison longer than should be allowed.  The original habitual offenders were life long criminals that had been committing crimes their entire live.  Many murder charges, many assault charges many of the same charges but somehow our system came up with a way to use old non-violent lesser sentenced times crimes to increase our system.  THE SYSTEM NEED TO BE CHANGED NOT FOR US BUT FOR OUR CHILDRE AND OUR CHILDREN CHILDREN. 

The rate it is going now they can give a person that committed a crime with a sentencing structure of 2 to 10 years use the habitual act against them to change their sentence structure to 15 to Life.  This is happen real life TODAY.  A nab/woman can be sentenced to die in prison for a single burglary or robbery and three prior forgery or drug convictions. This is outrageous and as the result of this punishment has resulted in hundreds of people being sent to prison for the rest of their natural lives for a handful of offenses committed when they were young, many involving no bodily injury.

The House Bill 107 would repeal Alabama's Habitual Felony Offender Act (HFOA), provide for resentencing for defendants whose sentences were based on HFOA, and make non-substantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.” (HB 107 (2021) - Habitual Felony Offender Act | ACLU of Alabama (aclualabama.org))

This is unjust and unfair to many people.  People are suffering.  Families are suffering.
