AB665, Erik's Law, was named after slain teen, Erik Ingebretsen, and honors all those who've tragically lost their lives at the hands of juvenile murderers. Erik's Law is a bipartisan proposal that seeks to amend portions of the California Penal Code which pertain to juvenile parole and resentencing hearings. It seeks to add fair balance and distinguishable language back into our justice system. It will not only benefit those convicted as juveniles who are deserving of an opportunity for a second chance, but it will protect and uphold public safety from those deemed permanently incorrigible and irreparably corrupt, something that California's justice system currently does not do. Erik's Law seeks to limit the amount of resentencing hearings and Parole Board hearings being granted to heinous murderers sentenced to life without the possibility for parole.

Please, sign this petition to show your support. State the county you're in. It will be presented to the California Assembly Public Safety Committee at a hearing on January 14th at 9 am. All are welcome to attend to voice their support for Erik's Law.

AB665 was drafted by California Assemblyman James Gallagher with help from Colusa County Chief Deputy District Attorney Brendan Farrell. It is co-authored by California State Senator Jim Nielsen.

The Ingebretsen family would like to thank their community of Colusa County, their family and friends, and those who support this move in the right direction. Help us honor victims' rights and maintain justice for families who've fallen victim to unimaginable crimes.

We have to stop denying justice to victims and risking the safety of the community in order to give murderers a chance to prove they've changed.

Erik's death was a terrible, gruesome, heartbreaking ordeal for his family, friends and our community. His killer was methodical and completely without remorse in the days following the murder, before the body was found. He deserves no more compassion than what he showed his friend, which was none. Support Erik's Law, and keep psychopathic killers in jail where they belong.

I grew up in Colusa & I remember when this happened to Erik. He didn't deserve to have his life taken by those who said they were his "friends". Law needs to be passed so that this doesn't happen again. This shook Colusa nothing like this should've happened.

Our state try’s so hard to pass criminal justice reform for offenders. “They deserve a second chance”, politicians and advocates say. For victims and their family’s there is no second chance! So if you really want to talk about justice. Let’s talk about justice for those whose loved ones only come home in memories and dreams. Don’t they deserve some justice?

Erik was my son's friend from preschool to the time Erik was killed. His death hurt the entire community and his family has never recovered from their loss. Voters do not want killers released into the population and Nathan does not deserve release based on the premeditated and brutal way he killed Erik.

This bill must be passed to protect not only our communities, but the families who are the victims of senseless crimes from having to spend their lives reliving their worst nightmares.

I was at Colusa county court today September 18, 2023. The very first case was nathan ramazzini via zoom. I was so distraught i left the courtroom to go cry in the bathroom. I could not control my tears any longer. I was left literally shaken. I can't believe they would have him in a public court. I was devastated.

Strongly concur. The 707 process is a very thorough vetting to be adjudicated to adult court. These are psychopathic criminals who get caught young. The individuals that are 707ed to adult court are very violent sophisticated criminal murderers. There are processes in place that allows a truly reformed LWOPer obtain parole. The changes starting with ex Sen. Yee is a way to make heaps of dollars for defense attorneys and experts, It is a gravy train that should be used for increased space at the California Department of Corrections prisons. The havoc currently being created by this insane practice of letting violent murderous criminals get back on the streets is going to be both a heartbreak and huge tax burden. The judges in these cases have a menu of sentences to select from. LWOP is only one choice thus null and void with respect to Miller v Alabama. The law for LWOP is for a select few and was designed to protect civil society. Wonder how much gang money was laundered to pay off legislators? The gangs want these monsters back out.
