Oregon State 59th District Representative Daniel Bonham is once again championing Ezra’s Law, a bill to allow for sentencing to reflect the impacts of permanent injuries for victims.  The bill is named after Ezra Thomas, who was two years old when his mother’s boyfriend attacked him, causing debilitating injuries.  The man received a 12-year sentence.  The Ezra’s Law campaign has sought longer prison terms for an injury that “permanently and significantly impairs” the victim’s cognitive function, vision, hearing or ability to walk or breathe, eat or move their limbs.  Bonham says some language has been modified to allow for downward judicial discretion, and has also narrowed the definition of “permanently disabled.”
