Gigi Jоrdаn never denied killing Jude, her eight-yeаr-оld sоn. Her justificаtion for giving the boy a lethal dose of drugs at a luxury midtown Manhattan hotel was, however, quite unusual. "She did it because she loved Jude." Specifically, Jordan claimed that her first husband was planning to murder her, leaving Jude in the custody of her second husband, his father. This man, she was convinced, would sexually abuse the boy, who suffers from autism, a developmental disorder that impairs one's ability to communicate. The jury accepted Jordan's explanation for ending Jude's life and found her guilty of manslaughter instead of murder. According to one juror, Jordan's beliefs may have been irrational or incorrect, but her actions met the definition of extreme emotional disturbance.What type of defense did Jordan likely use?
Tо refоrm its criminаl justice system, Mаrylаnd's legislature tоok two massive steps in 2016. First, nonviolent offenders who had been given severe prison sentences in the past would be eligible for early release. Second, mandatory minimum sentences for newly convicted nonviolent offenders were rescinded, meaning that those found guilty of intent to distribute illegal drugs would no longer automatically face ten years in prison. As a result, Maryland expects to reduce its prison population by nearly two thousand and save at least $80.5 million dollars in incarceration costs over the next decade.Maryland is hardly the only state to have taken dramatic measures with regard to corrections and criminal justice. In 2010, South Carolina eliminated some mandatory minimums, changed low-level property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and made it less likely for probation and parole violators to be incarcerated. By 2016, these measures had led to an 18 percent drop in South Carolina's prison population and $18 million in corrections savings. Overall, between 2006 and 2016, 28 states saw their prison populations decline, contributing to a small but significant trend in American corrections: fewer inmates. In 2015, the U.S. prison population fell by just over 2 percent, hitting its lowest level since 2005 and continuing a six-year downward course.Which of the following makes up a majority of offenders in a state prison?
