California Man Faces Life in Prison for Stealing $.50 Pack of Donuts

It is not because he stole doughnuts, it is because he is a serial criminal and needs to be removed from society. If you lead a life of crime, you have got to be willing to pay the price.
Typical case of propaganda.

we need to enforce the 3 strike rule in indiana. i have a cousin that is in and out of jail all the time he needs to just be kept there.
hope they were good donuts...at least krispy kreme quality
its not like his previous charges were only misdemors though, this was just the last straw...
saw a while back on tv another guy get his third strike on stealing a pack of batterys.

The three strike rule is rediculous. Your crimes should be based on each situation, not your previous problems for which you have paid your debt to society.
Ex.
A defendant who accepted a plea bargain to 2 counts of residential burglary in one juvenile case 20 years before the passage of the law would have both counts regarded as first and second strikes, and would face a third strike if charged with any offense potentially chargeable as a felony, such as possession of a controlled substance or "felony petty theft."
So once someone does something stupid as a child, pays their debt to society, 20 years later the 3 strike law is passed. They go on with their life and become a successful business person, then and they get arrested for having a xanax or (insert drug here) their friend gives them to sleep on a plane trip. Life in jail?
