House Judiciary Committee approves repeal of Habitual Felony Offender Act


The Alabama House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday voted to repeal the state s Habitual Felony Offender Act after a heated debate between two members about what the bill would and would not do to enhanced sentences. 
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Christopher England, D-Tuscaloosa, got approval on a 9-5 vote, with Democrats and Republicans voting to approve the bill. It goes to the full House for consideration. 
It changes the sentencing scheme for courtrooms across the state when dealing with an offender who has multiple offenses, England said. On the other end of the spectrum, it also creates the opportunity for those who have been incarcerated for a very long time as a result of habitual offender, and yet it doesn t guarantee the release, but it gives them the ability to have their sentences reviewed. ....

Chris England, D-Tuscaloosa, that would do away with the sentencing mandates for new cases and allow some prisoners to have their sentences reviewed. The bill now moves to the full Alabama House of Representatives but faces an uncertain future with just 13 meeting days remaining in the legislative session.
England said the mandatory sentences in habitual offender laws have resulted in arbitrarily long sentences. He said his legislation would put the decision back into the hands of judges and prosecutors. ....
