INDIANA: NO MANDATORY SENTENCES FOR DRUG DEALERS

Under a law that took effect on Sunday, the state has eliminated mandatory 
prison sentences for many convicted drug dealers. The old law required 
20-year sentences for possession of at least three grams of cocaine. The 
new law gives judges the authority to impose any sentence they see fit, 
including drug treatment instead of prison.
