Aaron Ford on Crime

 

 


Opposes the death penalty but will enforce the law

I'm opposed to the death penalty. I have always been and will always be opposed to the death penalty. It is a misused and oftentimes discriminatory practice that leads to irreversible consequences when you are wrong. So I do not support the death penalty. But as I've also said, as the top law enforcement officer in the state, I will enforce the law.

Repeal law banning sex offenders within 500 feet of school

Las Vegas Sun 6/11/15:Revising provisions governing sex offenders and offenders convicted of a crime against a child. SB99 would have repealed a provision banning Tier III sex offenders from going within 500 feet of a school, playground or other place used primarily by children.

Excerpts from veto message: Senate Bill 99 allows sex offenders who have committed the most heinous sexually-motivated crimes to have greater access to places where children frequent in Nevada. It places our children at greater risk of harm.

Legislative outcome: Passed Senate 19-0-2 on May/29/15; Passed Assembly 40-0-2 on May/31/15; Aaron Ford voted YES; Vetoed by Governor Brian Sandoval on Jun/10/15
