House Democrats block effort to reintroduce ‘Ezra’s Law’

Last week House Democrats opposed renewed efforts from Republicans to adopt ‘Ezra’s Law,’ a bill to allow for sentencing that better reflects the impacts of permanent injuries for victims.

The bill is named after Ezra Thomas who was just 2 years old when his mother’s boyfriend, Josue Mendoza-Melo, attacked him. Today, as a result of the injuries, Ezra cannot walk, talk or see. While Ezra’s injuries have given him a life sentence of disability, Josue will serve no more than 12 years in prison. The proposed law would secure longer sentences for people who cause permanent physical injury to their victim.

“This is a very sensitive bill that provides parity in sentencing for victims,” said House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby). “Consequences for violent person-on-person crimes should reflect the permanent damages that someone suffers as a direct result of a criminal’s actions. This bill should have bipartisan support this session and should not be a political issue.” more here

  1. And, today we read there is a 7-year-old boy charged with rape in NY. Was this child abused by an adult, or was the child abused by teachers because he was taught masterbation and sex education in kindergarten? The behavior comes from somewhere for a child that young to carry out these actions.

  2. Children neither vote, nor donate, nor pay Union dues – they can expect absolutely NO PROTECTION from Demonrats.

    Just another group to exploit.
