Measure 11 reform bill stays alive in Oregon Legislature but committee formed to discuss revisions
Updated 12:59 PM;
A bill that would do away with mandatory minimum sentences for all crimes except murder in Oregon remains alive in the Legislature but is likely to undergo revisions that could include winnowing the list of applicable crimes.
Chief sponsor Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, said Tuesday that Senate Bill 401 has been sent to the Senate Rules Committee while a committee comprised of lawmakers, prosecutors, crime victims and others discusses potential changes.
Prozanski has said he is open to keeping mandatory sentences for sex offenses.
At this point, it appears SB 401 is the leading Measure 11 reform bill this session.

From traffic stop to fatal shooting: New details reveal escalation that left Jenoah Donald dead
Updated 11:23 PM;
The fatal shooting of 30-year-old Jenoah Donald earlier this year started out as a relatively standard traffic stop that sharply escalated when he refused a deputy’s commands to keep his hands where she could see them, according to newly released investigative records.
That drew in another deputy, Sean Boyle, who ended up shooting Donald once in the head as they all struggled inside Donald’s car on the evening of Feb. 4.
In an interview with investigators, Boyle said he was in his patrol car checking Donald’s information when he heard Deputy Holly Troupe calmly and repeatedly directed Donald to show his hands.
