Measure 11 Youth Get Second Look
page 14-15
Some teens charged with Mea
sure 11 offenses but convicted of a
lesser charge will now have a chance
to get out of custody after serving
just over half of their sentence.
Measure 11 was passed in 1994
imposing adult prosecution on teen
age defendants aged 15 and older
accused o f violent crimes and re
quiring mandatory minimum sen
tences. The law also left inmates
without the option of getting time
off for good behavior nor the option
of parole prior to serving the manda
tory minimum sentencing.
The new policy announced last
week by Multnomah County Dis
trict Attorney Rod Underhill affects
youths aged 15-17 whom were
charged with a Measure 11 offense
and prosecuted as an adult, but
subsequently convicted of a lesser
non-Measure 11 offense negotiated
as part of a plea deal.
Young offenders impacted by the
rule who serve 50-percent plus one
day of their time under supervision
of Oregon Youth Authority, will now
have the option of going before a
judge who can opt to release them
with community corrections man
agement supervision to finish out
the other half of their sentence.
