“While in prison awaiting trial, Fowler was convicted of sodomizing a jail inmate and sentenced to three, 25-years-to-life prison terms.”
OK, I’m confused. Did he get 3 25-life terms for that act? Or did that sentence have something to do with the fire-related deaths?
In any event it sounds like the formerly great state of California wants to be sure this guy stays behind bars, where he manifestly belongs.
so, good on them for that.
An article another Freeper posted above says in answer to your question that yes, because of the three strikes law, he got the three 25-year sentences because of the sodomy:
“Fowler is found guilty . . . of three felony counts of sodomy by force on another inmate at West Valley Detention Center (he was in this detention center because of another crime he committed, not related to the fire). The (sodomy) incidents occurred in August 2010. Jurors also found “true” each of Fowler’s two prior strikes, thus allowing each count to result in a 25-year-to-life prison sentence, according to prosecutors.”
There’s some other interesting stuff in there about him requesting Kosher food in jail because he’s becoming a Jew.
But he looks like such a nice boy. I wonder what went wrong?
