The lower sentencing ranges in SB 91 apply to all sentences imposed after the law went into effect, even if the crime predated the law, as in Mr. Adams' case.

Not sure why you think I'm "blaming" Governor Walker, Senator Coghill, our wise legislature, or anyone else -- if not for their concern for public safety, Mr. Adams would have had to go to jail instead of getting the rehabilitation he deserves. I sincerely hope they get every ounce of credit they deserve.
