The Virginia Crime Commission met today to discuss mandatory minimums. Although I wasn't prepared enough to speak, I did submit this written comment:
My name is Henry and I'm a sophomore at Freeman High School. Though I won't be able to attend this meeting, I would like the Commission to know that mandatory minimums are a dangerous overreach of the legislative branch. Someone who stole in order to feed his family should not get the same treatment as someone who stole in order to buy a PS5. I hope you'll understand how important context is when it comes to the law.
Sincerely,
Henry Haggard
As of January 22nd, I've also submitted a comment to the Agriculture & Natural Resources Subcommittee.
