Attorney announces changes to life sentence redeterminations
17/06/2008
Offenders will only get one chance to have their life sentences re-determined under changes announced today by Attorney General John Hatzistergos. Under legislation to be introduced into the�NSW Parliament tomorrow, offenders will now be allowed just one re-determination application. Mr Hatzistergos said the new laws will apply to those remaining NSW prisoners who were given natural life sentences before âtruth in sentencingâ laws were passed in 1989.
