On Saturday, the NY Times published an op-ed about the current state of California's effort (or lack thereof) to meet the mandated population limit affirmed by Brown v. Plata. Interestingly, the article mentions a movement to reform the state's three strikes law. The proposed changes would prevent harsh sentences like the one handed down in Ewing, where a defendant was given 25 years to life for stealing $399 worth of golf clubs.
I apologize for last week's brief hiatus. There should be one or two more extensive posts up by next Monday.
Thanks for reading.
