High Court Wants More Answers In ‘Jessica’s Law’ Challenge
SAN FRANCISCO -The California Supreme Court has ordered more investigation into whether the state’s sexually violent predator law is constitutional.
On Monday, a 5-2 court ruled that separate inquiries must be conducted into the claims of four registered sex offenders.
They allege they can’t find a place to live because voter-approved Jessica’s Law prohibits them from residing within 2,000 feet of schools, parks and other places where children congregate.
The high court said it wasn’t presented with enough evidence to support or refute the claims of the four convicts, who live in areas of the state with varying housing issues.
