Two Strikes

Mark Jones wanted to serve his country and possibly become an FBI agent like his father, but his life took a turn. In 2011, Jones grabbed the arm of a woman sitting in her car at a Publix grocery store parking lot in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and demanded her keys. At age 39, Jones was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. “Two Strikes” explores Jones’ case and the state law that put him behind bars likely for the remainder of his days.
