A
good idea that needs
fixing
Joe Klaas
In 1994, California
voters made a resounding
statement about
criminals who repeatedly
committed violent crimes
after getting second and
third chances. Enough.
No more violence. Send
these criminals to
prison for a long time.
Joe Klaas is the

| Field
Poll: Amending '3-strikes' law has voter
support |
| Three
strikes Voters appear to support Prop. 66,
which would limit sentencing under the
three-strikes law. Voters appear ready to
change the state's "three
strikes" law, a new Field Poll shows.
. Nearly 70 percent said they would vote
for Proposition 66, which amends the law
to require that only convictions for
violent or serious felonies be counted as
a "strike." "People seem to
think it is a reasonable compromise,"
said Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field
Poll. |
