What Effect Would Repeal Have On Criminals Already Sentenced?
If the voters of Oregon repeal Measure 11, within 90 days over 3000 violent criminals sentenced under Measure 11 will be resentenced, as required by the repeal initiative. Most will receive dramatically reduced sentences. Many hundreds will be released shortly after repeal. Youth who were age 15 to 17 at the time of their crime, even the crime of murder, could be remanded to juvenile court for retrial and resentencing under quite lenient standards.
