Under California’s “three strikes” law, defendants who are convicted of two violent or serious felonies can be sentenced to 25 years to life if their new charge is an enumerated crime.
In addition, the prison sentence for a person convicted of any California felony who also has one violent felony or serious felony priors, will see their sentence doubled by the three strikes law.

A three strikes defense attorney can fight a three strikes sentence in various ways. A judge, first of all, may agree to remove a prior strike by applying a Romero motion, which means that a judge can “strike” past strike allegations and reduce the defendant’s sentence in a California State Prison. An attorney can also fight a three strikes sentence by attempting to reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor.
