A Maryland state Dem proposed a law that would bar anyone under 25 years old from being charged with felony murder. The lawmaker & supporters of the bill say that the brain is not fully developed before age 25, so issuing so harsh a sentence is unfair.
Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield, a Democrat, made the proposition through the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180, local news outlet WBFF reported. A defendant in Maryland can be charged with felony murder if the person commits a murder during a felony crime, such as robbery.
The bill was immediately decried by Republicans and law enforcement officials, who argued that it would result in a surge in crime.
