SomeLikeItHoth 08/30/19 1:28:58 AM #7:	The unusually harsh punishment was the result of Alabamas Habitual Felony Offender Act, also known as the three strikes law, which was originally intended to crack down on repeat offenders when it was enacted in the 1970s. But Kennard wasnt exactly a hardened career criminal when he was sentenced to life behind bars: His prior history consisted of being charged in connection with a break-in at an unoccupied gas station when he was 18, which landed him on probation for three years, AL.com reported. --- FAM FOREVER. <cite>SomeLikeItHoth posted [p:926726340] in Man who go...

Sunburst 08/30/19 1:55:05 AM #15:	Using a knife to to committ armed robbery implies he was willing to kill to steal. No different from a gun in that regard.
