肯塔基州立法者在6岁的Logan Tipton 2015 年遭谋杀后, 推行“洛根法律 ” , 禁止暴力犯罪的“不卫生”辩护和加重刑罚。
Kentucky lawmakers advance "Logan’s Law," banning "insanity" defense and toughening sentences for violent crimes, following 6-year-old Logan Tipton’s 2015 murder.
在肯塔基州立法机关中,422号众议院法案(又称“洛根法 ” ) 获得了两党力量,目的是在2015年6岁的洛根·蒂普顿被谋杀后,改革暴力罪犯的判刑和假释。
House Bill 422, known as “Logan’s Law,” has gained bipartisan momentum in Kentucky’s legislature, aiming to reform sentencing and parole for violent offenders following the 2015 murder of 6-year-old Logan Tipton.
该法案受到Ronald Exantus一案的启发,Ronald Exantus因Logan被谋杀而精神错乱而被宣告无罪,尽管假释委员会反对,后来仍被释放。 该法案希望消除 " 因精神错乱而无罪 " 的辩护,保留 " 有罪但精神有病 " 的辩护,延长无期徒刑的假释资格,允许故意谋杀而无加重处罚因素的终身假释。
The bill, inspired by the case of Ronald Exantus—who was acquitted by reason of insanity for Logan’s murder and later released despite parole board opposition—seeks to eliminate the “not guilty by reason of insanity” defense, retain “guilty but mentally ill,” extend parole eligibility for life sentences, and allow life without parole for intentional murder without aggravating factors.
该立法拥有近60个共同赞助者,反映出对加强问责制和公共安全的广泛支持,其驱动力是提普顿家族为防止未来悲剧和纪念他们儿子的记忆而倡导的。
With nearly 60 co-sponsors, the legislation reflects broad support for strengthening accountability and public safety, driven by the Tipton family’s advocacy to prevent future tragedies and honor their son’s memory.
