Thank you for the question.
We looked at various measures. We wanted to keep this very tight and targeted, such that it would provide deterrence—although deterrence is obviously considered very low when it comes to very heinous individuals. People have said things like, “Why do the families have to go to the parole hearings?”, but families feel compelled or obliged to give a voice to their loved ones or the victims who are no longer able to speak.
That's just one example. Other possibilities do not provide the same effectiveness that we can put into this legislation. There are other ways to mitigate it through the parole process. Legally speaking, this would be a very powerful and effective way to do it.
