City Legal reviewed the ordinance and specifically looked at any potential double-jeopardy concerns and determined there weren't any. That Brizzi's amendment wasn't required, but, in fact, didn't change any thing. <BR/><BR/>As for a public being hell-bent on punishing violent sex offenders (who are among the most likely criminals to repeat their offences), its summer, and I think protecting our children by keeping rapists and child molestors off our swing sets is a good idea. <BR/><BR/>Brizzi thinks winning votes and not investigating the governor's corporate buddies is a good idea (I wish I could negoiate my own 80K raise).

Unf, due to Ms. Kennedy's lack of experience in criminal law, she didn't even recognize the double jeopardy issue. I think the ordinance is unnecessary too, but when you have a public hell-bent on doing whatever they can to punish sex offenders, the council would've been committing political suicide to vote it down.
