By HammerLawSeptember 10, 2014

No. A strike is defined as serious or violent under the Three Strikes laws. For a violent felony, the person must do 85% of the time imposed. A first offense for a serious felony, although also a strike, will still make the person eligible for 50% time on the first offense. A second qualifying offense…

If you are charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, will you be charged with doing the crime?

By HammerLawSeptember 10, 2014

That agreement does not require the crime to actually be committed.
