New Jersey S286 amends the "three strikes law" to apply only to persons over 18 years of age.
New Jersey S286 amends the "three strikes law" to apply only to persons over 18 years of age. The law previously applied to crimes committed at any age. The bill modifies the sentencing requirements for individuals convicted of certain serious crimes, ensuring that the "three strikes" provision only applies if the predicate offenses occurred when the defendant was over 18. This change responds to a recent New Jersey Supreme Court decision.
