Generally, prison inmates can earn “custody credits,” where they may be released after serving only half of their sentence for good behavior. If you’re convicted of strikes, however, this 50% reduction is limited. If you’re convicted of a second or third strike, you may have to complete 80% of your sentence before you’re eligible for release from prison- and if you’re convicted of a violent felony, you must serve 85% of your sentence. Additionally, if you’re a three strikes defendant charged with multiple crimes, you must complete your sentence consecutively - serving one sentence after another. As you can see, strikes bring serious consequences, but Loflin Law Offices may be able to help. To learn more, contact us.

If you’re a three strikes defendant, you may still be eligible for parole. In 2016, Prop 57 was passed, stating that those convicted of a nonviolent felony are eligible for parole, after serving the maximum sentence of their primary sentence. Accordingly, if you’re a third striker convicted of nonviolent crimes, you may apply for parole. To learn more, contact us.

Under California’s Three Strike Law, if you’re currently charged with a serious or violent crime felony AND have 2 prior convictions for a serious or violent felony (strikes), your new conviction can land you a sentence of 25 years to life. If your current charge is a non-serious or non-violent felony, but you still have 2 prior strikes, your new conviction can land you a sentence that is double the normal sentence. If you’re currently charged with a felony (any felony), but only have one strike prior, then if convicted of the current charge, you can be sentenced to double the maximum sentence for that crime. As you can see, strikes can bring hefty sentences. Via a Romero Motion, however, we can ask a judge to dismiss a strike in the interest of justice, by considering such factors as (1) the nature of your current offense, (2) the nature and number of your prior convictions, (3) whether your current offense or prior offenses involved violence, (4) whether your prior offenses are recent or remote, (5) whether your strikes arose out of a single course of conduct, and (6) whether, if you were given a determinate prison term, you will likely constitute a danger to society when your sentence expire.

Such a beauty, the Riverside County Historic Courthouse. Resembling the Gran Palais and Petit Palais of Paris, the Riverside County Historic Courthouse’s cornerstone was laid in 1903 because President Theodore Roosevelt was due to come to Riverside to campaign on May 7, 1903. Today, this building stands as a city and county landmark.
