Maura Healey on Crime

 

 


Supported 2020 reform bill repealing mandatory minimums

She's supported criminal justice reforms--the 2020 police reform bill in Massachusetts, repealing mandatory minimums, bail reform, adopting uniform policies on eyewitness identification, increasing the property crime thresholds amounts and thereby downgrading many of these offenses from felonies to misdemeanors, releasing terminally ill incarcerated individuals, ending mandatory drivers license revocations for non-driving offenses.

Increase penalties for hate crimes, revamp current law

"A white supremacist who targets and attacks a Black person because of their race is treated the same as a person who punches somebody in a bar fight. That's not right," Healey said. "And if the penalties are the same for a simple battery and a hate crime battery, which they are under current law, here's what happens: as a prosecutor, you charge the battery. You don't charge the hate crime, because you have to prove the additional element of intent, and that's hard to do."
