Panel urges changes to curb violence and reform trials
The panel backs preventive detention before trial for arrestees deemed dangerous and replacing insanity defenses with a guilty but mentally ill verdict. It supports admissibility of illegally obtained evidence when officers believed Fourth Amendment violations were unlikely and limits prisoners to three years to seek federal relief. It also urges a federal handgun waiting period to check buyer eligibility amid Reagan’s gun control opposition.
