The Trial of Milton Myers

Milton Myers' attorney attempted to diminish his client's accountability, characterising him as an impaired person. Ronald Reaver was found guilty and ordered to serve an additional 125 years in prison. Under California's Three Strikes Law, offenders who had previously been convicted of two or more serious felonies faced a significant increase in their subsequent prison term. The law rained to prevent such offenders from receiving anything lower than a life sentence. As this was Myers' third offence, and therefore third strike, he was sentenced to over 300 years in jail. Judge Robert Moody thanked the jury for taking an unpleasant and difficult journey into a side of life I'm sure you never wanted to see.
