We do not need a "Three Strikes" law as we already have enough laws on the books now, to deal with criminals. Leave the convictions to the presiding judges. That's what their job is and what they are being paid (with our tax dollars) to do. Enough of this "Cheshire murders" already! Although it was tragic, some legislators have become fanatics and seemingly "possessed" with getting this law passed. The consenses was, at the last special meeting, NOT TO PASS THIS LAW!
