CALIFORNIA'S THREE Strikes Law provides a strong incentive to
eliminate witnesses. Any lawbreaker aware enough to be deterred by 25
to life for a third felony can figure out that it is in his or her
best interest to kill witnesses of that third-strike offense.
Because of Three Strikes, California is incarcerating people for
decades to life for stealing a pizza or pair of blue jeans. Don't look
to the U.S. for intelligent law-enforcement policy.

forcefully stole the pizza from a little boy.)
