    (underway since 1998)
     

    Sentencing Reform - Supreme Court Opinion - California has unconstitutionally sentenced 54,000 prisoners during the last 30 years.

    Senate Bill 40 - Hearing March 13, 2007 - The legislature has voted to continue these unconstitutional sentencing practices for at least two more years.

    SB 40 Sentencing 1, 2,   3 These are three web pages of our campaign to stop this blatant violation of the 6th Amendment

    Public Defender Jeff Adachi's reaction to the signing of SB 40 into law San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi stood up to the legislature who passed the bill in a record eight days before opposition could mount.
