In Lockyer v. Andrade (2003), the Supreme Court held that a 25-year to life sentence for petty theft under the state's three strikes law:
 
  a. violated the Constitution because it was disproportionate to Andrade's crime.
  b. did not violate the Constitution and was justified by the state's interest in incapacitating and deterring repeatoffenders.
 c. violated the Constitution because it was cruel and unusual punishment.
  d. did not violate the Constitution because the Eighth Amendment doesn't apply to state sentences.
