In the coming year, California voters could be asked to scale back the state's Three Strikes law. Opponents of the harsh sentencing mandate have proposed a ballot measure that would put stricter standards on how the law is applied, reserving the 25-to-life sentences for cases where the third strike involved violence. Offenders with a record of murder or sexual assault would still be eligible for longer sentences.
