In order for the 3-strikes law to be effective there must be 2 prior felony convictions. Being accused and even having a trial does not constitute a felony. The civil trial that found Simpson guilty of causing the deaths of Nichole Brown and Ron Goldman was a civil not criminal trial and does not apply towards the 3-strikes law.
