Prior Felony
If you have a
felony
conviction anywhere in the United States and if you are then
convicted of a felony in Georgia, you must receive the maximum
sentence provided by law. For example, if your new offense is felony
theft, the bad news is that the judge must sentence you to the
maximum of 10 years in prison. The good news is that all or a
portion of the sentence can be
probated.
Three Prior
Felonies -- Three Strikes Law
If you have
three felony convictions anywhere in the United States and if you
are then convicted of another felony in Georgia that does not
require the death penalty, you must do the maximum sentence the
judge gives you without the possibility of parole (early release).
Serious Violent Felony
If you have a
serious violent felony conviction anywhere in the
United States and are then convicted of another serious violent
felony in Georgia that does not require the death penalty, you must
be sentenced to life in prison without parole (early release). Yes,
without parole means without parole.
