On today's Your Call, we’ll continue our election coverage with a debate on Proposition 36. If it passes, it would change key elements of California’s Three Strikes Sentencing Law, enacted in 1994. With Prop 36, a life sentence would only be imposed if the final felony conviction is serious or violent. What’s your opinion of California’s Three Strikes Law? Join us at 10am PST or leave a comment here. What do you want to know about Prop 36? It’s Your Call with Holly Kernan, and you.
