About the Law

In 1995, Georgia passed the "seven deadly sins" law. It mandates, for a first offense, a non-parolable sentence of at least ten years for kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and aggravated child molestation. Minimum sentence for first offense of murder is life, with no parole eligibility for 25 years. Second offense of any of the "seven deadly sins" gets life without possibility of parole.

In 1996, the chance for parole was abolished for the six non-murder "deadly sins". Anyone convicted of those crimes must serve 100% of their sentence.

Any conviction for the violent crimes listed here will mean a long prison sentence, which must be served without the possibility of parole. You are extreme risk if you are charged with one of the Seven Deadly Sins in Georgia.
