Michigan Adopts New Criminal Code Aims For Swift Justice
Michigan’s new criminal code, effective the first week of September, tightens penalties and shortens loopholes. It mandates life terms for some repeat offenders and allows judges to comment on testimony. Juries rise to 14 but render verdicts with 12. The code mirrors Baume’s law from New York and aligns with Governor Green’s endorsement to curb crime through prompt punishment.
