The Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on March 13 on S.140, a "second look" resentencing bill that would let incarcerated people petition for sentence review after serving lengthy terms. Dozens of witnesses, including advocates, survivors, mental-health professionals and national experts, urged the committee to adopt a review mechanism while asking for safeguards for victims and public safety.
