Longer probation for aggravated attempted murder, repeat sex assault

The law lets judges set probation for aggravated attempted murder and for repeat sexual assault offenders to any number of years. It removes the usual caps on probation length for these crimes. Normally, Maine caps probation at 4 years for Class A, 3 for Class B, 2 for Class C, and 1 for Class D or E. Those caps still apply to other crimes. This change does not alter prison terms or offense levels, only probation length for these two offenses.
