WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- House Judiciary Committee leaders have reached a bipartisan agreement on criminal sentencing reforms, which could reduce mandatory life sentences to 25 years.
The proposed reforms are sponsored by Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Rep. John Conyers, Jr., D-Mich., and are part of the committee's efforts since June to adopt a broader criminal justice overhaul.
