As I stated above you don't go to jail for 25 years for committing three petty crimes. Two of them have to be serious felonies or violent crimes.
Yes and he went to jail for doing it. Now the state has put him in jail for 25 years for stealing a pair of socks.

that is feudal pre French revolution (NOT) justice.

It also criminalises the poorest and weakest in society who have failed schools, no jobs and no hope...

But I suppose it is just a bit better than the Cops executing people on the spot
