Nichols Jr. (letter June 8) is upset about California's "Three Strikes" law. As a criminal defense attorney, no doubt Three Strikes has caused a serious decline in his repeat business. Mr. Nichols went on to say that some 80% of the third-strike convictions were for nonserious or nonviolent felonies. When will detractors of the "Three Strikes" law realize that in the eyes of honest, law-abiding citizens, there is no such thing as a non-serious felony? Bill Jones, Sanger - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
