On May 18, 2015, in the case of the People of the State of
California v. Juan Ferrer, the jury found the defendant guilty of voluntary
manslaughter for the November 25, 2013, killing of Douglas Anderson-Jordet. The

degree murder. Mr. Anderson-Jordet’s family has been notified of this result
and they have expressed their gratitude that the case finally has been decided
by a jury.

the proceedings by Deputy Conflict Counsel Marek Reavis.
The scheduled sentencing date is June 15, 2015. The sentence
for the crime of voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon has the following
range: a mitigated term of four years, a middle term of seven years, and an aggravated
term of twelve years in prison.
