Bobbi Dreier and Larry Fisher were friends in their teens. Bobbi was shocked, over 20 years after they lost touch, to discover that Larry was the second person in Washington to be struck out under the 3-Strikes law.
The punishment is for 777 years, 77 months, and 77 days without possibility of release.
Larry has committed no crime above the lowest quarter of Washington's criminal seriousness scale. All his crimes are low-level, un-armed robberies committed to get money for drugs.
Bobbi voted for 3-Strikes, believing it would permanently remove only the most violent people from the streets. Learning about Larry, she took another look at the law and now volunteers to speak out against the gap between what was promised with 3-Strikes -- and what has been delivered.
