Summary
<p>California quietly reclassified people in their early 50s as “elderly” and opened the door for rapists with 50-, 100-, even 800-year sentences to walk free after serving a fraction of their time. Through Jennifer’s story, this episode uncovers how that happened with almost no public scrutiny, why most victims never hear about these parole hearings until it’s too late, and what prosecutors and judges say must change before other states start copying the same playbook.</p><p>Thank you to our sponsor: Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to <a href="https://DrPhilGold.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://DrPhilGold.com</a></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
