Re: three strikes law
Three strikes applies to violent and serious felonies, for the first 2 strikes.
Without knowing more it would appear that the current petty theft could be charged as a felony. If charged as a felony the sentence could be up to three years in state prison, without considering the effect of the prior felony conviction.
You should either hire an attorney or get an attorney appointed by the court and discuss you particular circumstances with the attorney.
