Two words for that nonsense: Bull Shit.
My understanding is they're reducing the sentence for EVERYONE but the reduction is to help immigrants. 1 year in jail gets them on the deportation watch list or something so by making all these crimes 364 days in jail or less, they won't go on the immigration radar for committing these crimes.
