House Bill 1125 jeopardizes public safety and undermines justice. It is a deeply flawed proposal that threatens public safety by allowing convicted felons to petition for sentence modifications based on arbitrary criteria.

This bill would give judges broad discretion to reduce sentences for offenders, potentially releasing individuals convicted of serious crimes far earlier than originally intended.

Victims at risk:

  • Forces victims to relive their trauma through repeated hearings.
  • Prioritizes offenders over the well-being of victims and communities.
  • Burdens an already overwhelmed criminal justice system.

Unpredictable outcomes: The bill opens the door for activist judges to reinterpret sentences, leading to inconsistent and unpredictable decisions. HB 1125 is unnecessary, reckless, and an affront to the principles of justice and public safety in Washington state.
