When arrested three golf clubs each priced at $399 was confiscated from him so he  was convicted of one count of felony grand theft of personal property in excess of $400.

In examining Ewing 's claim that his sentence is grossly disproportionate, the gravity of the offense must

the Three Strikes Law is to punish habitual offenders upon receiving their third conviction of any felony. Initially, if an individual receives a serious or violent felony conviction, this is a first strike; subsequently, the second serious or violent felony charge is a second strike and the individual will serve double the time originally assessed for the first felony. Finally, upon the third felony conviction an individual receives a minimum sentence of twenty five to life in prison. Even though

This practice of civil death was carried over from England and implemented in the colonies when they settled in North America. ("Felony Voting Rights") Although the application of civil death has altered as the United States of America matured as a country, it remains as a widely debated topic in current events. Whether felons should regain their civil rights after they have “paid

classifications because not all Assaults and Batteries are the same, so not all the laws are.

categorized as “infamous”—whether a felony or misdemeanor. Practically, this means that if a criminal conviction results in imprisonment, the state suspends the offender’s right to vote during incarceration and restores it after release. Under current policy, that’s how the law works. But the sense of Article 2, Section 8, seems to give the General Assembly broad power to suspend an offender’s voting rights--perhaps permanently, as some states actually do for certain felonies.

Ex- Felons voting rights Should ex-felons be able to vote once they complete their sentence in prison? About 5 million people with a felony conviction can’t cast a vote in elections.

Society shouldnot discriminate against any race, gender, or even ex-offenders. After someone has served their due time, society should not make it any harder for one to create

False accusations were lodged against me by my employer, Cheri Collins of American Bail Bonds during November 2015. I was told that my cash was short by $1600 and was informed that my failure to reimburse Cheri Collins would result in her obtaining warrants for my arrest. It was further explained to me by Cheri that her word was all that was required to initiate said charges and she posed the question; “Who do you think they will believe, me or you?” It was not unheard of for my cash to be short
