Fixing 3 Strikes?
Governor Schwarzenegger also told reporters today that he would consider changes to the state’s three strikes law, even after he helped convince voters to reject a package of changes on Election Day.
The governor says he thought Proposition 66 was the wrong plan, and only got involved with the campaign because he didn’t think voters really knew that there was organized opposition.
Even so, he says changes might be in order. “I’m going to have conversations with Attorney General Bill Lockyer, and with the legislators, to look into the three strikes system and see if there is anything that ought to be adjusted.”
Critics of the 1994 law say it unfairly punishes criminals whose third “strike” is a non-violent crime.
