My 18-year-old client was facing several serious felony charges that would qualify as “strikes” under the Three Strikes Law. A contentious hearing was held to determine if he should remain in custody while the case was pending. The judge allowed my client to go home over the DA’s objection. He did extremely well, working and paying for his own car and apartment. His case later resolved for an admission to one felony, with all the others being dismissed.
