Have you heard of the three-strikes law in California that was enacted in 1994? This sentencing law was voted to increase the penalties for repeat offenders who were previously convicted of a felony offense including violent crimes. This means that if you have been charged with a crime and have a previous criminal conviction on your record (one strike), your prison time for a second felony will be doubled regardless if the crime happened 20 years ago and was not considered violent.
The law also imposed that an individual with two prior felony strike convictions shall get at least 25 years to life for almost any crime for subsequent serious or violent felony convictions. This could mean a lifetime prison sentence for your current crime. If your record indicates that you could be an offender of the three-strikes law, it is crucial to get a competent Hanford criminal defense lawyer to avoid severe penalties that can quickly change your life.
