John Fetterman has not called for eliminating life sentences for murders. He backs ending mandatory life sentences for murder convictions where the defendant is not directly responsible for the killing.
commissioning a report he said"clearly spelled out the need to abolish Pennsylvania's horrible and immoral practice" of mandatory life sentences for second-degree murder.
The law"ruins lives that could be rehabilitated while costing taxpayers billions and leaving them no safer as a result," hesaid that, as of Sept. 30, 2019, 1,166 people were in Pennsylvania prisons serving life-without-parole sentences for second-degree, or felony, murder.
He has called for reversing Pennsylvania’s law that mandates life-without-parole sentences for second-degree murder, or so-called felony murder, for defendants who are accessories in a killing. In those cases, the defendants are involved in felony crimes, such as robbery, that result in a death, but they were not directly responsible for the killing.
Oz’s claim contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate it Mostly False.
