From Kentucky.com:
State Rep. Kathy Stein, D-Lexington, who has been chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee, said she expects a “full frontal assault” from prosecutors.
In a rebuttal to Lawson’s report, Fayette County prosecutor Ray Larson said 20 persistent felons cited in the study had been convicted of more than 300 felonies and misdemeanors.
“The average citizen wants to be protected from these predatory repeat criminals,” Larson said.
Attorney General Jack Conway said he is willing to “listen and to talk about what offenses ought to trigger the PFO laws.”
