Question

is it legal for the court to give you a enhancement bigger then your base term.



Answer

Sure. They can give you 25-to-life for a third strike for stealing a slice of pizza.



Answer

Yes. For example, the base term for second degree robbery is 2, 3 or 5 years. The use of a firearm under 12022.53 adds 10. Fire the gun and it adds 20. Fire it and hit someone, causing great bodily injury and it adds 25-life.

There are many such examples - that was just one.



Answer

Hell, yes.
