Mandatory prison time, doubled from the standard term. Time to get an attorney you think? Feel free to contact me if serious about hiring counsel.

Under most circumstances, a second strike conviction will double the sentence. Any "strikable" conviction thereafter, under current law, will mean a sentence of 25-life.
