Two horrifying crimes have exposed serious in Connecticut's criminal justice system. But a "three strikes and you're out" law by Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Republicans in the Legislature would do more harm than good. Last July two recently paroled men broke into a home in Cheshire and tortured and three people. Last month a man who served more than eight years for assaulting a 5-year-old — and had been out on for less than a month — broke into a New Britain home. He accosted two women, wounding one and killing the other. Republicans, led by Ms. Rell, have responded by calling for a "three strikes" law. Democrats have rightly resisted. The proposed law, which would mandate life in prison for anyone of three violent felonies, is a bumper-sticker solution that would create by barring judges' discretion in sentencing. It would also not deter the many crimes by people who have not committed three violent felonies.
