SAN DIEGO — A San Diegan who became the first inmate released under the amended “three strikes” law is telling 10News how he is adjusting to life as a free man.
Last November, 62-year-old Kenneth Corley was freed under state Proposition 36 -- the amendment to the three strikes law allows inmates to petition for re-sentencing if their third strike was not serious or violent.
In 1996, he was sentenced to 25 years to life for drug possession because it was his third strike. By 2012, he had served 16 years of his sentence.
