In a new opinion essay released this week Marshall says gang violence and lawlessness is quickly becoming more normal.
“We believe this will not only be a tool in the tool box for law enforcement and prosecutors but also a very specific deterrent to gang activity as well. If you are that gang member and know you are about to engage in this activity, there will be a clear understanding that number one, your penalties will be harsher and if you do it with a gun you are going to have very specific time that you will have to serve.
“I think all we have to do is look at our homicide statistics, particularly in Birmingham when you see the loss of lives we had over the last year. Many of those are directly attributable to gang activity.”
