[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of such a sentence 30 to life is more than many murderers receive.

I am shocked.[/quote]

I think the victims may have been minors  :shock:

Looking at the California penal code, the only rape charge that assesses "15 years to life" is the rape of a minor under 14. So do that x2 victims and it's 30 to life.

See para 264 for the typical rape penalty - 3, 6, or 8 years for each count
See para 269 for penalty against minors under 14:

Nope, they were in their 20s.

Prosecutors alleged that Masterson raped a 23-year-old woman sometime in 2001; a 28-year-old woman in April 2003; and a 23-year-old woman between October and December 2003.

Then its not clear to me how he gets 30 years to life. If he already has a felony conviction in California ('one strike'), I think he can get sentencing enhancements under the "3 strikes" framework.

But looking at the penal code I don't see how he could be facing at a life sentence. I'm wondering if he triggered the 3 Strikes rule, which is 25 years to life (not 30). [/quote]
He will be eligible for parole in his late 70s. Apparently, this is the relevant part of the penal code.

That must be a new law since Brock Turner basically got away with rape in CA.[/quote]
The judge was the problem in the Brock Turner case. Judges have a lot of discretion in sentencing. The community voted him out of a job after this happened.[/quote]
