You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime.

From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record.

Hello listeners.

This is Jane from the National Organization of Victims of Juvenile Murderers. I'm making a guest video about Ohio Senate Bill 256, which was signed by Governor DeWine in January and will go into effect on April 12. As I explained in my first episode with Roberta, SB 256 reduced sentencing options for juvenile offenders, and OBJM opposes it for the reasons I will detail in this video. To summarize,

it mandates sentences that are very lenient when compared to some crimes, thus denying justice,

demeaning crimes, and devaluing victims. It also makes many dangerous criminals,

including kidnappers, rapists, and murderers eligible for parole, and it re-traumatizes victims by

forcing them to relive the crimes at parole hearings. SB-256 was rammed through due to negligence

and recklessness on the part of lawmakers and lies in propaganda on the part of activists.

A bill that will drastically reduce the sentences of so many extremely violent criminals is very

dangerous, given how common recidivism is. And while most supporters of SP-256 probably have some

concern for victims, they apparently have more concern for violent criminals. This is why they were

hurt victims in order to give violent criminals a chance of freedom. So before I start, I'll just say

we have a change.org petition up, and I encourage you go and sign that. In previous episodes,

Roberta and I discussed the movement to end life without parole for juvenile criminals. Elwap is the

short way of saying life without

parole. And as I explained in those two episodes, advocates of ending juvenile Elwap hurt victims

by promoting laws that deny justice and ret traumatized victims. They also use appalling propaganda

to advance their goal. Ohio was just one of many states to be targeted by juvenile offender advocates. I'm going to

go over lots of information, so I can't focus too deeply on everything. If you want to learn more about the

stuff I discussed, check the description box for links to website pages. I would like to thank Roberta for
