Youuu're Out…or Are You?

In baseball, if the umpire calls strike three…you’re out.  What about in the State of California?  It’s the famous “three strikes” law which was introduced in the mid-'90s amid a violent crime spree, where a defendant convicted of a felony who had two or more prior felonies would automatically receive 25 years to life.

Then, in 2012 came Proposition 36 which –

1.  Revised the law to ease the punishment when the crime was not violent

2.  Re-sentencing when there appears to be no risk to public safety

3.  It now depends on what the first two crimes were about

You don’t have to know all of the nuances of the “three strikes” law because San Jose criminal defense attorney William Chestnut does.  Bill was practicing in California when the law was first enacted in 1994 and when it was revised in 2012.  He will vigorously defend your rights if you are a three-time offender.  Call the law office of William Chestnut at (408) 298-6990.
