Serious or violent felony convictions in Santa Ana, California will result in a "strike" on the defendant's criminal record. Under the "Three Strikes and You're Out" law, a defendant who receives a second strike will face double the penalties for the crime. A third conviction for any felony offense, even if not violent or serious, may result in the defendant facing 25 years to life in prison. This is the primary reason felony offenses are so serious.
