Your state has no death penalty, so this is the worst sentence that he can receive. You agree to hear the case and the mother says she will be there in ten minutes to hand you the file. You decide to use the ten minutes before her arrival researching Supreme Court case law in “three strikes” cases; in the process you envision possibilities of what this client might have done. a.

Simmons to set him free, as long as he is over the age of 18
