Will Pennsylvania release hundreds of murder convicts?

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court declared mandatory life sentences for second-degree murder unconstitutional, prompting a rush to amend the law before a looming deadline. With 1,200 inmates affected, the court gave legislators just 120 days to act, but both the State House and Senate won't reconvene until September. This situation raises significant questions about the potential release of these convicts and the broader implications for state corrections policy and the safety of communities. The urgency underscores the need for swift legislative action to address a ruling that could reshape criminal sentencing in the state.
