Yes it does. A person has to be charged with 3 different serious crimes as for instance rape, murder, armed robbery, home invasion, etc.. or it could be the same type of crime on 3 different occasions. Don't forget that has to be on 3 different occasions then and only then can a person be charged as a habitual offender.
