bipartisan vote and Gov. Kate
Brown has signaled support.
SB 1008 would change the
way the state handles juvenile
prosecution, sentencing and
imprisonment in several ways:
• It would keep youth
accused of crimes committed as
a juvenile in the youth justice
system and require a special
hearing with a judge before
being moved to the adult
justice system.
• Convicted youth would
receive a “Second Look”
hearing halfway through their
sentence to determine their
progress and with the possibility
of serving the remainder of their
sentence under community-
based supervision.
• Requiring an additional
review before transferring an
incarcerated youth to adult
prison with the possibility of
serving out the remainder of a
sentence in community-based
supervision.
• Eliminating life without
parole sentences for all youth
offenders and offering a chance
of parole after 15 years of
imprisonment.
Dana admits to being
confl icted about where she
stands on the changes.
“I love my brother, and I am
deeply hurt by his actions – our
family is irreparably changed,”
she said.
Victim’s rights are a major
component of her misgivings,
but there are societal issues
– such as how the convicted
will be transitioned back into
their communities – at play
as well. Dana’s list of concerns
starts with victims being forced
to ramp up their grieving
processes.

All three of the Toyota occu-
pants, Trinity Watt,19, of Salem,
Madison Capobianco,19, of
Salem and Makayla Tryon,18,
of Keizer, were pronounced
deceased at the scene. All three
were former students at Barbara
Roberts High School in Salem.
The 25-year-old driver of
the Jeep, Juan Carlos Rodri-
guez Palacios of Salem, and a
passenger remained at the scene
until they were transported to
Salem Health for treatment.
Rodriguez Palacios was later
arrested. On Tuesday, June 4, he
was arraigned on three counts
of fi rst degree manslaughter,
one count of assault and one
count of driving under the in-
fl uence of intoxicants.
Rodriguez Palacios’ blood
alcohol content was 0.239 per-
cent when tested, almost three
times the legal limit of 0.08
percent.
Rodriguez Palacios has had a
previous arrest for drunk driv-
ing, but charges were dismissed
after he completed a diversion
program.

a high probability to re-offend.
Special
conditions
of
Shupp’s
release
include
prohibitions
against
frequenting
malls, parks,
campgrounds, places where
minors congregate, contact
with minors and engaging in
and completing sex offender
treatment.
“In instances like this, our
Community
Corrections
Division is faced with the very
diffi cult challenge of fi nding
appropriate housing for clients
differently,” Dana said. “He was
also removed from his life, and
placed in a new one. I think it
is hard to feel the depth of loss,
and therefore understanding
and empathy, that his actions
have caused when he doesn't
live it.”
The other vein of concern
on Dana’s part is what
would happen to Brett if
he did manage to secure
community supervision in lieu
of incarceration – a defi nite
possibility under the terms of
the laws if Gov. Brown signs it.
If approved, Oregon can tout
following best practices when
it comes to youth offenders,
but there is nothing in the
legislation adding to support
services for convicted youth
upon release, much less funding
to bolster existing programs.
“I do truly sometimes
wonder what goes through
Brett's head, when he makes
appeals, at exactly what he
thinks would happen if he were
released tomorrow, I would be
concerned for his safety both
from people who do and do
not know him. I don't think
people would be kind to him,
and I think that drives [people]
down the spiral of recidivism
sometimes when no one is
kind, there is no support and no
where to live,” Dana said.
Social media adds to those
woes. For evidence, look
no further than your own
Facebook or Twitter stream and
count the number of instances
where “justice served” and
other more dehumanizing
comments appear in relation
to the perpetrators of crime.
When Keizer residents received
notice that a sex offender was
released to a transition home
last week, there were calls for
returns to public execution on
Facebook.
On a more personal level,
Dana is concerned with
raising her own family and not
wanting Brett to show up and
encouraging the kids to “think
he’s cool.”
“What pains me is that while
a lot of parents experience
their children's realization of
how cruel life can be, and how
devastating others’ choices can
be, I have to break that to my
children from within. Instead of
them coming home and telling
me about something and having
that discussion, someday I will
have to open that box and say,
’This is what happened to my
mother, and your grandfather,
and what an impact it had on
me.’”
She would like to be able
to have that discussion on her
own terms, but Brett could
be released to community
supervision under the new
rules in as few as 10 years.
“I cannot fathom having
that discussion with a 12-year-
old,” Dana said.
There’s also an outstanding
question of what is being done
to deter criminal acts before
they happen.
“My parents tried on
multiple occasions to get
Brett
into
intervention
programs – targeted at drugs
– but either socioeconomic,
racial demographics or credit
defi ciency meant he never
qualifi ed,” she said.
The passage of the bill out
of the legislature gave Dana
pause for another reason,
especially given that Oregon
voters approved the original
sentencing guidelines with a
strong turnout and support.
“It was appropriate to turn
that vote back (her emphasis) to
the people. It appears that our
legislature doesn't believe we
are equipped to handle that,”
she said.
who often times are not
openly welcomed back into
the community,” said Landers.
Neighbors of the property
have reported seeing Shupp
leave the house in womens
clothing, but Landers could
not comment on those
allegations.
In addition to being
supervised by a parole offi cer
(PO), there are supervisory
staff in place at the home
where he and others are living.
“The supervision comes
in the form of regularly
checking in with his PO and
there being a specifi c location
he is expected to be residing
at, his PO also has the ability
to be in contact with staff at
this house,” Landers said.
Treatment in sex offender
cases focuses on the underlying
causes that lead someone to
reoffend.
“In addition to promoting
accountability, we seek out
various treatment options
and work to address anti-
social attitudes, values, beliefs,
peer associations and other
areas which may lead to an
increased risk to re-offend,”
Landers said.
Marion County and local
police offi cers notify and
attempt to work with the
neighbors in the area and
provide public notifi cations,
not to stoke fears, but under
the belief that an informed
public makes the situation
safer for everyone.

Being thrust into the justice
system and the grieving process
at the same time did her no
favors, but she describes it now
as something that “comes in
waves.”
“Did I miss my mother,
do I still? Of course. But did
I anticipate that every time
my daughter smiled, or had a
toddler-like day that I would
be catapulted back to what we
would have had? No.”
Those undulating currents
of grief are not reserved for
victims of crime, and Dana
expects her response will
change with time, but asking
anyone to speed up such a
complicated emotional cycle in
an already complicated time is a
tall order, she said.
“I am not in that camp
of throw away the key – I'm
really not. I just don't know
how the severe reduction in
sentence over 6-9 months
before true ‘adulthood’ is really
accomplishing the intended
goal, particularly if we aren't
addressing gainful employment
and living situations,” Dana said.
Another troubling area
of the new guidelines is
what will constitute taking
responsibility for one’s crimes
and rehabilitation. It’s also
unclear whether victims would
have a say in the hearings that
could commute sentences to
community-based supervision.
Dana stays in contact
with Brett while serving his
sentence, but says even she is
uncertain whether he’s come to
grips with the magnitude of his
crimes.
“Brett continues to act as if
the rules do not apply to him,
whether those be institutional
rules or social expectations.
He is charming, and what I'm
looking for is not lip service
but a full scale turn-the-
other-way-and-live-your-life-
