Video: Prop. 36 Changes 'Three Strikes' Law

Proposition 36 would change California's current "Three Strikes" law by imposing a life sentence only when the crime committed is a serious, violent crime.

This could allow some offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions, and currently serving life sentences for nonserious, non-violent felony convictions, serve shorter prison terms. This would not affect felons with prior convictions of murder, rape, or the sexual abuse of children.
