OLYMPIA, Wash. — State lawmakers have passed a bill to resentence as many as 114 people serving life without parole under the state’s three-strikes law.
The Seattle Times reports the bill affects those who “struck out” in part because of a second-degree robbery conviction.
That’s a crime that generally involves no weapon or physical injury.
The people affected by the legislation could still see long prison terms based on what a judge decides at their resentencing.
