California adopts SB42 and Juvenile Justice reforms
The article reports that SB42 creates three definite sentences for most nonviolent felonies starting Jan. 1, with judges choosing the middle term unless case facts justify shorter or longer terms. Violent felons retain indeterminate terms. Brown signs juvenile justice bills expanding adult court jurisdiction for 16 and 17-year-olds and limiting parole for first-degree murder with torture. Also enacted are PCP related offenses and transfer reporting, and a high-profile case prompts ABAG21 by Knox.

Army Overcharges Raise Mishandled Funds to 220.3 Million
Washington AP Army financial officials report that the amount of funds mishandled by Army bookkeepers has risen to 220.3 million dollars, an increase of 15 million since last April. The errors, tied to fiscal 1971 to 1973, stem from an overloaded bookkeeping system amid foreign arms sales and aid to South Vietnam and Cambodia. Officials say no overall spending rise occurred, and steps are being taken to prevent future faults.
