California Law Has Always Been a Little Goofy
Charley Charles (born Charles Rothenberg), the man who set his six-year-old son on fire in 1983, is in trouble again for illegally possessing a handgun. Charles served 6 1/2 years of a 13-year prison sentence for his earlier crime, and now faces life imprisonment on the possession charge due to California's "three strikes you're out" law. Six and a half years for attempted murder and life for illegal handgun possession... shouldn't it be the other way around? Source
