I’m still grieving for my precious Blue Heeler who I was forced to euthanize on April 1. He was struck by my neighbor’s father in law’s SUV and suffered grievous injuries. I’ve always had a good relationship with the aforementioned neighbors, but I feel some resentment because the father in law hasn’t called to apologize, and the neighbors didn’t seem too concerned.
Under what circumstances did the FIL strike the dog with his SUV?
Did the FIL drive onto your property? Or, did the dog get out of the yard?
Yes. In California you must serve the minimum of the sentence you've given before you're eligible for parole. So in this guy's case he's going to be there for 40 years before he's eligible for parole. Like I say this is the one area in California where they do not fool around.
California also has a three strikes law. Commit three violent felonies and you go away for life.
California may have its faults but when the judge hands you a 40 year to life sentence you’re going away 40 years to Life. That’s the one area where they don’t fool around.
Say what you will about California, but when you’re given a 40 year to life sentence you will be in there a minimum of 40 years and most likely rest of your life.
