Introduced by: John A. Cosgrove | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Suspension or modification of sentence for cooperation with prosecution. Provides that when a person has been sentenced for a felony to the Department of Corrections, the court that heard the case may, after a hearing upon motion of the Commonwealth and with good cause therefor, suspend all or part, or otherwise modify, the unserved portion of the person's sentence if such a suspension or modification is compatible with the public interest. This intends to accommodate a case where an inmate cooperates and testifies in the prosecution of another person.
