Didnt know u were a golfer Logic. LOL. The point is...25 years in prison for stealing golf clubs? When murderes sumtimes are released after 10 yrs. When a person who maybe only committed a felony once...but embezzled a million dollars wouldnt spend 25 yrs in prison. The politicians try to mask tha law by saying "its to punish repeat offenders". Maybe they should tell the truth and say..."its to punish the poor", seein as how the poor are more likely to be REPEAT offenders. Stealing golf clubs wont make it to where u dont steal again. Being a wealthy "business man" and embezzle a million dollars from a corporation, ud prolly neva need to do it again. Obviously if sum1 commits a crime...they should be punished. But, it needs to be on the same level playing field ALWAYS. Which, in America...and very much in Kali...its not. This law basically jus caters to the rich. Its a way to show that the politicians are "cracking down on crime". I would say, if its a felony that is in tha category of theft, tha 3 strikes law is fuckin ridiculous. The person who steals 200 dollars from 3 different individuals, on 3 seperate occasions....is punished far more then the person who steals 1,000,000 dollars ONCE...but in the process could possibly be stealing from 100 people at tha same time.

The Man Who Stole The Golf Clubs Should Have Known What Position He Was Putting Himself In. Anyway, On The Whole Law Subjects, The British Justice System Is Fucked Up. You Cant Be Tried For The Same Crime Twice, Which Is Bullshit. Really Everything Needs To Be Changed. People Getting Away With Murders Because Of Laws Made Hundreds Of Years Ago. I Doubt Anything Major Will Happen With Laws Because The Whole Goverment Is Fucked Up.
Did Anyone From The UK See That Program About That Man Who Had Gone To Court Twice For Alledgedly Killing Some Woman? Then More Evidence Came After The Second Time He'd Gone To Court But He Couldnt Been Tried Again Because Of Some Stupid Law. He Then Admitted Too Killing Her But He Couldnt Get Life, And Just Got A Bullshit Sentence Of 7 Years For Pergury Of Some Shit. The Man Also Has A Violent Background And Broke A Baseball Bat Beating A Man In The Face With It And Stabbed A Woman With A Fork That Was Carrying His Baby. Fucking Scum......

i agree with not bein able to try a person twice for the same crime. the reason that law was established was to make sure prosecutors couldnt just keep trying a person over n over...until they eventially found the jury that find them guilty. No matter how innocent someone is...therelly be SOMEONE who will think theyre guilty. And u could just keep trying someone...and hope that u find tha right jury.
