Are youth offenders sentenced under the three strikes law eligible for youth offender parole?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Moppins, C088950 (Cal. App. 2021):
Even if we were to assume that youth offenders sentenced under the three strikes law are similarly situated to those not sentenced under the three strikes law for purposes of section 3051 (People v. Valencia (2017) 3 Cal.5th 347, 376), defendant's contention nevertheless fails because there is a rational basis for excluding three-strikes youth offenders from youth offender parole eligibility.
