Washington AP reports a sweeping bill by Senators McClellan and Kennedy, backed by Atty. Gen. Bell, to restructure federal criminal law. It would decriminalize small marijuana possession, compensate innocent crime victims up to 50000, federalize Watergate style dirty tricks, ease rape testimony burdens, unify codes, and impose new minimums for heroin trafficking, with a commission to set sentencing guidelines and expanded rape definitions. The measure aims to reduce disparities and modernize enforcement while dropping earlier death-penalty provisions.
