Reforming Measure 11

On 9/19 criminal defense attorney Jesse William Barton presented “Maximizing the Chances of Obtaining True Measure 11 Reform” in Wilsonville. During an interview with Karen James, he discusses Measure 11, Oregon’s one-strike-you’re-out mandatory minimum sentencing law passed by Oregonians in 1994. Barton believes that in order to reform Measure 11, we must first invalidate Measure 10, a constitutional amendment also passed by Oregonians in 1994, which states that the Oregon legislature cannot reduce voter-approved sentences without two-thirds supermajority vote.
