Requires a sentence of life imprisonment without parole for murder in the first degree, aggravated murder, and murder in the second degree
This bill mandates a life imprisonment sentence without parole for specific murder convictions. It directly affects defendants convicted of first-degree murder involving the killing of a first responder, certain second-degree murders, or aggravated murder. The law requires courts to impose this sentence automatically in these cases, removing judicial discretion for these offenses. It does not apply to defendants under 18 at the time of the crime, who may still receive other sentencing options.
