SB 529 - Certain offenders who have pleaded guilty to or been found guilty of homicide of a spouse or domestic partner and are serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for at least fifty years shall be eligible for parole after having served fifteen years if the board of probation and parole determines that there is a strong probability that the person will not violate the law again. The offender must have no prior felony convictions, must have exhausted all appeals, and have a history of being a victim of domestic violence or have evidence of innocence that was not fully presented at trial or sentencing. This act is similar to HCS/HB 632 (2007). SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
