Virginia Dems propose ending mandatory minimums for violent crimes, sparking safety concerns.
Virginia Democrats have introduced House Bill 863, aiming to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes like rape, manslaughter, assault on officers, and child pornography offenses, while also reducing minimum DUI penalties.
The bill, backed by newly elected Governor Abigail Spanberger, seeks to give judges more sentencing discretion, but has drawn criticism from conservatives and law enforcement who warn it could compromise public safety and victim trust.
The legislation remains under review in the General Assembly, with debate ongoing over balancing reform with accountability.
