sentence reductions; offenders under twenty-five

SB 1552 allows Arizona courts to reduce prison sentences for adults convicted of felonies committed before age 25 who have served at least 15 years. Courts must consider factors like the defendant's youth, rehabilitation efforts, maturity, trauma history, and reduced culpability due to age before granting a reduction. If approved, the court can impose a sentence below the legal minimum but cannot set a life sentence. This applies specifically to felony convictions and requires written court reasoning for both granting and denying requests.
