Link at Orange County DA's press release page dated April 19 starts out:

A real judiciary over-achiever isn't he? This time lock him up and destroy the key.

He is accused of selling a plastic baggie of meth for $750 and giving the buyer a discount because the baggie was not quite full.

A reputable drug dealer.

Only just now eligible for the 3-strike law? Seems there's about a dozen convictions just in the article.

"Acosta was arrested in 1987 ..."
"He spent about 10 years in prison..."
"Since his 1994 parole..."

Let's try this again:

He was arrested in 1987 and paroled in 1994.
During that time he spent how many years in prison?

More like 7 years, and at most 8 short years.
Definitely not 'about 10 years'.
