After being shelved for nearly a year, California lawmakers in the Assembly dusted off a controversial, proposed law that will allow some convicted felons serving life without parole to petition for early release.
The proposal would create a process for those offenders to have their prison sentences reduced if they've been behind bars for at least 25 years or since 1990, including those convicted of murder. Serial killers and those who have killed police officers would not be eligible.

Early release and Life without parole..... am I the only one that thinks those two phrases shouldn't even be in the same fucking sentence?
