Ferrer hugged his attorney after the not guilty verdict of second degree murder was read.
Sentencing June 15 at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 1.
For voluntary manslaughter Ferrer can get up maximum 11 years. Lower term 3 and mid term is 6 years. Special allegation is an additional 1 year.
The DA's press release has the total sentence added up: 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.
There has been extensive daily coverage of the jury trial on this blog.

Well. Good.
ReplyDeleteFinally! Thanks for staying on this John.
ReplyDeleteWell, they beat the previous offer (Involuntary manslaughter), the one which the judge rejected. Also significant is that voluntary manslaughter (unlike the involuntary manslaughter charge) is a violent felony (strike), which means he will serve any term in prison (not county jail) and his credits are limited to 15%. From what I've read (mostly here, good work!) this is a reasonable verdict given the evidence. Sounds like Mr. Rees did an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteYou are so interesting! I do not think I have read a single thing like this before.
