text: I recently saw a case resolved in the state criminal justice system for 18 months with 18 months suspended.  A probation only sentence.  The defendant put a gun to the victim's temple and pleaded as charged, to Assault in the Third degree.  He had multiple prior misdemeanor charges, but no felonies.  Since it was a class C felony, SB91 strictly forbid jail time.  The probationary sentence was the only thing the judge could impose.  The victim of the crime is terrified, and her family is outraged.  I hope we don't find her dead in her home, as her attacker is only required to check in with probation once a month.  This is the "criminal class" you think doesn't hurt anyone, and that SB91 was necessary to protect.  Decriminalizing simple drug possession is one thing. Doing away with jail for violent offenders is another.  SB91 was poorly thought out - and painted with way too broad of strokes.
