North Dakota lawmakers reject a bill that would have made violent offenders serve at least half their sentences.
North Dakota's House of Representatives has voted down a "Truth-in-Sentencing" bill that aimed to make violent criminals serve at least half of their sentences before being eligible for parole.
The bill, introduced by Attorney General Drew Wrigley, also proposed stiffer penalties for assaulting law enforcement and fleeing.
The rejection came amid concerns over the bill's impacts and cost, with some lawmakers suggesting further study of the state's corrections system instead.
