What this bill does

The bill would let prosecutors bring a homicide charge against someone after the victim dies from injuries caused by an earlier offense, even though that person was already prosecuted for the earlier serious bodily injury. It would also let the court reduce a mandatory minimum prison term and give credit for time served on the earlier conviction.
