Prof. Moriearty Testifies Before Minnesota Senate Judiciary Committee

Professor Perry Moriearty testified before the Minnesota Senate Judiciary Committee in support of a bill that would abolish life imprisonment without parole for juveniles convicted of homicide. Moriearty worked with a group of juvenile justice stakeholders in Minnesota to draft the bill, which also includes provisions to expand the use of police diversion and stays of adjudication for juveniles, increase eligibility for expungement, and minimize barriers to health and human services licensure.
