Santos Reyes (prisoner)
Santos Reyes is a prisoner at Folsom Prison in the state of California who became a focal point of an effort to overturn the state's three strikes law.〔("FACTS: Top 150 Unjust 3-Strike Stories," ) Families to Amend California's 3-Strikes, Google cache accessed December 9, 2010〕〔("Campaign to Free Santos Reyes," ) Interview with Peter Camejo, Uprising Radio, September 12, 2006〕 The case has attracted widespread media attention, including coverage in the ''Los Angeles Times,'' the ''San Francisco Chronicle,''〔 Reuters,〔("Man facing 26 years for lying wins hearing," ) Reuters, March 5, 2005〕 the ''Pasadena Weekly,'' and elsewhere.〔〔 It has been hailed as a particularly egregious example of how California's three strikes law has led to the "incarceration of thousands of victims indicted on relatively minor charges."〔
==Arrest and conviction==
In 1997 Reyes filled out an application for a driver's license under the name of his cousin, Miguel Soto. Reports differ as to whether the application was in Spanish or English, and whether the application stated that information was being provided under penalty of perjury.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No. 00-57130. - REYES v. BROWN - US 9th Circuit )〕 Upon being suspected for using a crib sheet to cheat on the test by DMV staff member Debra Alexander, Alexander confiscated the exam from Reyes and reported Reyes, who had left the DMV building, to the California Highway Patrol. After submitting to a pat down and being handcuffed, Reyes voluntarily admitted that he had attempted to take the test for Soto. Prior to trial, Reyes was offered a deal of four years imprisonment in exchange for a guilty plea to the charge of perjury, but he rejected the plea deal and requested a jury trial. He was convicted on March 5, 1998 of perjury. Reyes qualified for a Three Strikes enhancement because of two prior convictions: one for residential burglary as a juvenile in 1981, and a second for armed robbery in 1987. On April 2, 1998, the trial court sentenced Reyes to an indeterminate term of 26 years to life.〔
