In California, a state judge has ordered the release of a man who was sentenced to twenty-five years to life in prison after trying to forcibly enter a church soup kitchen thirteen years ago because he was hungry. Gregory Taylor had been sentenced under the state’s controversial three-strikes law. Taylor’s release came in part due to efforts by students working on the Three Strikes Project at the Criminal Defense Clinic at Stanford Law School.
