New Orleans Revisits Its Three Strikes Rule
Newsy
New Orleans has reduced the sentences of dozens of prisoners to fit the crimes they committed.
New Orleans is sometimes referred to as the city that care forgot.
Its meaning has faced much debate: is it the sweltering heat? The care-free feeling you get in the city, or the lack of a livable wage?
Those words hit home for Maurice Lewis. Thanks to the Orleans district attorney, Lewis now walks free after serving a 23-year sentence under one of the then harshest three strike rules.
