GROUP AGAINST MANDATORY SENTENCING IS ORGANIZING
Families Against Mandatory Minimums, a national lobbying group whose
stated goal is "to restore sentencing discretion and end inflexible
sentencing policies," is holding a panel discussion beginning at 7:30
Thursday night in Courtroom No. 2 of the Monongalia County Courthouse.
FAMM National Membership Director Andrea Strong is the featured
speaker for the free event, which is open to the public.
Strong's brother, Mark Young, earned a mandatory life sentence when
convicted in 1991 for his part in a marijuana conspiracy. Her opinion
that the sentence was too harsh led to her active and ongoing
involvement in FAMM.
