The suspect was released in February after serving just over half of a 10-year sentence because of his pre-sentencing credits. A legal expert says that system may now be in question, 'particularly when you look at the carnage that occurred in downtown Sacramento.'
Witnesses recount the terrifying moments early Sunday morning where six were shot dead and 12 injured on the streets of downtown Sacramento."Smiley Martin, 27, was received by CDCR in January 2018 from Sacramento County with a 10 year sentence for corporal injury and assault likely to cause great bodily injury. Prior to reaching a CDCR facility, Martin had already received 508 days of pre-sentencing credits, and received a variety of additional post-sentencing credits.
The Sacramento District Attorney office was so concerned about Smiley's release, they wrote the parole board last year saying he"has little regard for human life and the law."Smiley's release was then denied. But this year, with pre-sentencing credits, authorities say his sentence was completed.
