Re: Three Strike Law

Depending on where it occurred, he could be charged with a 3d strike and, if convicted, sentenced to 25 years to life or more. Apparently, you kne,w this based on the title of your inquiry. Of course, there's no way to KNOW what's going to happen until it happens. It's entirely up to the District Attorney's office now.
