Plescia Condemns Early Release of Convicted Murderer
AB 109 Early Prisoner Release Jeopardizing Public Safety Across the State
SAN DIEGO, CA – George Plescia issued the following statement today in response to the news story below of a convicted murderer who was released back into a local community through Assembly Bill 109. Robert Lawrence Perrin spent 13 years in prison for murder and is now under arrest for suspicion of kidnapping, robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
“How many more innocent Californians need to be victimized before AB 109 is repealed?” Plescia questioned. “Marty Block and the other supporters of this early release plan need to wake up and stop playing political games with the lives of others before even more violent felons are put back on the streets and in our neighborhoods. We have to repeal this now before this happens in San Diego.”
