Kamala Harris expressed regret this week over a 2011 anti-truancy law she supported that put some parents in jail while she was California’s attorney general. It marks the first time Harris has shown remorse over the law, The Los Angeles Times reported. The law is an example of difficult questions Harris may face from progressive voters concerned with prison reform. Earlier this month, a New York Times op-ed writer claimed Harris has fought to uphold wrongful convictions as attorney general. She has also been criticized for her defense of the death penalty as attorney general only to say she would call for a federal moratorium of the death penalty if she were elected president.
