12. The revised statute creates "three gradations depending on severity, with the lowest penalties for an unarmed offense running from four to 18 years and the highest penalties for an armed offense ranging from 12 to 24 years." https://t.co/lgNm3r6qPX — PolitiTweet.org

11. As a practical matter, however, no one gets sentences longer than 15 years. Judges do not impose 40-year sentences for carjacking because that is the "same penalty as second-degree murder, and more than double the penalty for second-degree sexual assault." — PolitiTweet.org

13. That means judges can sentence criminals to up to 18 years -- three years longer than the harshest sentences handed down today -- FOR ANY CARJACKING. The new code does not weaken the penalties for carjacking, but aligns them with reality. https://t.co/lgNm3r6qPX — PolitiTweet.org
