The General Assembly has passed several interesting pieces of legislation recently, but none are more consequential than S 920, the probation reform bill signed by Governor Perdue last week. I previously expressed my hope that Jamie Markham, our sentencing and corrections expert, would summarize and analyze the bill, and fortunately for all of us, he’s come through. His summary is available here, and, as usual, it’s concise, precise, and practical — a must-read for virtually everyone involved in the criminal justice system.
