Shasta Groene pushes 1-strike law

Shasta Groene, who was kidnapped from her North Idaho home by serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan III in May 2005, has started a change.org petition to change the law on sentences for sex offenders.

Groene, who is 19 and lives in Nampa, Idaho, is calling her proposal “Slade and Dylan’s law” for her two brothers who were murdered by Duncan.

In her description of the petition she indicates that sex offenders, once convicted, should not be let out of jail. “1 strike for a sex offender should be enough! Never let them back on the streets to reoffend,” Groene wrote.

As of Monday, Idaho had 4,458 registered sex offenders, according to the Idaho State Police. The vast majority of those are out of prison, living in communities all over the state/ Scott Maben , SR. More here.
