Statement: Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland Marks Signing of Justice Reform Bills Into Law - April 22, 2025
MD Second Look Coalition retweeted
The diligent organizing of the Maryland Second Look Coalition, in conjunction with supportive state officials, has successfully passed legislation that enables sentence review for incarcerated people who have served decades behind bars. TRNN in collaboration with the @mdsecondlook and @ACLU_MD has created infographics for family members and friends of incarcerated people to give a clear picture of the impact of the Maryland Second Look Act HB 853.
Since the Maryland Second Look Act's initial proposal, Host of Rattling the Bars and former political prisoner Mansa Musa has been speaking with loved ones and family members of incarcerated people, as well as returning citizens who have been the lead organizers of the bill. The following are several reports related to the long struggle to get HB 853 passed in the Maryland General Assembly.

HB 853 is on its way to Governor Moore’s desk for his signature. Thank you to our bill sponsors Delegate Pasteur & Senator Sydnor for championing this bill. Now we must urge Gov. Moore to sign the Second Look Act - a common sense, data-driven approach to decarceration - into law.

"If Maryland is to be a place where data and compassion drive policy, we cannot justify leaving these people behind. These reformed and deserving men and women serving sentences from decades ago need a second look. They need a second chance."

R’s are using fear mongering while we use data & proven measures - the Second Look Act does not guarantee release of any individual. It allows a person to request a review of their sentence by the courts AFTER 20 YEARS. These measures are the law in states like CA, OK, CO, NY.

Alonzo spent over 31 years on the inside for a crime he committed as a young person. Over the years, he educated himself, went to school, and began showing up for others even as an incarcerated person.

Despite DNA evidence proving #MarcellusWilliams' innocence, the State of Missouri prepares to execute him in less than 50 days. The public must intervene to save his life. kansascitydefender.com/abolt…

“I testified for the prosecution and helped send #RobertRoberson to death row,” said Brian Wharton, the lead detective in his case. “I have come to believe ... that there was no crime. I am convinced that Robert is innocent.”

If we do not act before Oct. 17, #RobertRoberson could soon become the first person in U.S. history to be executed based on the debunked and discredited shaken baby syndrome hypothesis. Sign the petition: innocenceproject.org/petitio…
