Crime victims, prosecutors sue over California regulations affecting inmates serving life without parole ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

The lawsuit, filed by the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, asks a court to block regulations that create a process for inmates who have served at least 25 years to seek a sentence recall through the courts or request a gubernatorial commutation.

"That would create an entirely new process to allow the most dangerous and most violent inmates out of our prison system, including individuals serving life without parole," said Anne Marie Schubert, president and CEO of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation.

"Keep your promise. Let life without the possibility of parole mean exactly what it says," said Angie Chavez, aunt of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

Chavez said her family agreed to spare themselves a trial years ago because they believed Huckaby would never be eligible for release.

Friends and supporters of Laci Peterson's family also joined the news conference.

Juarez did not mention Scott Peterson by name. Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner, is among the inmates who could potentially seek relief under the regulations, according to the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation. The organization estimates more than 2,400 inmates could be eligible under the new process.

In a statement, the board said the regulations simply establish a process for preparing public safety risk assessments that can be provided to courts considering sentence recall requests or to the governor when evaluating clemency petitions.

"Anxiety begins all over again. The sleepless nights return. The fear returns," Juarez said.
