Section 667 carries the changes made by the state Legislature in early 1994, whereas section 1170.12 created by the voters' approval of Proposition 184 in November 1994. In most respects, the two laws are identical. If the person has two previous violent or serious felony convictions, he or she is sentenced to a life sentence with the possibility of parole. The term determined by the court pursuant to other applicable sentencing provisions of existing law. Under 3-Strikes, if the person has two previous violent or serious felony convictions, he or she must be sentenced to a term of 25 years to life in prison for each new felony conviction, whether or not violent or serious, which must be served consecutively.
