Three Strikes Your Out Law

my cousin is facing 25 to life right now due to the three strikes your out law. i was wondering if a person can be sentenced to this if the 3 strikes were all committed in the same act, and he/she had no priors? they're tring to get him for murder, carjacking, and robbery, if you could provide me with any information on this, it would be a great help.

thank you

Well, yes it is possible that the DA can charge three different crimes for one set of actions, but it may be difficult to prove multiple crimes, or to have them all survive after making the appropriate defense motions. Email me for further info or call: (562) 929-7422. George
