The governor signed a law named for Sgt. Nick Risner, who was shot to death in October, to restrict shortened sentences for inmates who have been convicted of killing.
Gov. Kay Ivey today signed into law a bill named in honor of Sheffield Police Sgt. Nick Risner, who was shot to death in October. The man accused of the murder of Risner and of a second man had served only three years of a 10-year sentence for manslaughter.
“Standing up for our men and women in blue is a top priority for my administration,” Ivey said in a press release. “Sergeant Risner’s killer should have never been released from prison in the first place, and while there is nothing that can be done to reverse this horrific tragedy, this legislation will go a long way in ensuring violent offenders remain off the streets.”
