That was a celebrity aberration.
Fact is California has three strikes, with some of the toughest criminal sentencing laws found *anywhere* in this country.
Excellent point. However, living in the North part of the state, I can say I’m shocked by the cases that local DA’s pass on or bargain down to nothing. It varies a lot by city and county. I’ll bet you can guess which one’s are worst. Budget reasons are the usual excuse, if anyone notices.
Then again, maybe I’ve listened to the opening of Law & Order for too many years....
