Three Strike Crimes
The "Three Strike Law" in California can mean a third offense, even a misdemeanor, can send you to prison for a minimum of 25 years. If you have two "strikes" against you, it is possible to spend the rest of your life in prison if convicted of a third offense, even if it is simply petty theft. This law can be broken down as follows:
If you have previously been convicted for committing 2 serious felonies (strikes); and if you are convicted for committing a third offense (felony); you may be sentenced to serve a minimum of 25 years to life in prison.
A strike may include those convictions committed prior to enactment of the "Three Strike Law," any conviction from other states, all federal convictions and even convictions committed as a juvenile.
Some examples of strikes are as follows:
- arson
- murder
- rape
- kidnapping
- assault with a deadly weapon
- home invasion
- drug trafficking
- armed robbery
- bank robbery
- any attempted felony that would carry a life sentence in prison
For a complete list, please refer to the California penal code, sections 1192.7. (c) and 667.5. (c).
In addition, certain felonies committed by juveniles over the age of 16 are also considered strikes. These felonies are essentially the same as listed above. For a complete description of juvenile strikes, please refer to the California Welfare and Institutions code, section 707 (b).
The "Three Strike Law" demands that anyone facing a third "strike" employ a criminal defense attorney for his or her defense. Any "strike," past or present; can be successfully argued by an aggressive and knowledgeable defense lawyer. No matter how minor the crime may be, the court has the right to determine it is a felony and, therefore, a third "strike." With the right criminal trial attorney, you can avoid a 25 year to life sentence.
A good California criminal defense attorney may be your only defense against the "Three Strike Law" and spending the rest of your life in jail. Each "strike" must be challenged and argued in court. The current charge must be vigorously defended to prevent a third "strike" conviction.
