Kris Steele and Laura Austin Thomas
State Question 805 forum

State Question 805, the Criminal History in Sentencing and Sentence Modification Initiative, will appear on the November 3 ballot. If passed, the initiative would prohibit an individual's past felony convictions from being used to justify lengthening or otherwise harshening sentencing in subsequent non-violent felonies. It would also provide for sentencing modifications for eligible individuals serving or set to serve sentences that were enhanced based on past felony convictions. Former Oklahoma Speaker of the House Kris Steele will present the "pro" argument and Payne and Logan County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas will present the "con" argument.
