How have courts interpreted the Three Strikes law?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Olobayo-Aisony, B300620 (Cal. App. 2020):
In determining whether the trial court abused its discretion, we are guided by case law interpreting the Three Strikes law. We consider whether the trial court evaluated the nature and circumstances of the defendant's felonies (present and prior) and the particulars of his background and character. (See, e.g., People v. Williams (1998) 17 Cal.4th 148, 161.)
