This morning Daniel Dozier who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and Mia Felder"s family will find out whether he gets probation or time in custody.
On 7/2, probation filed their report; on 7/3 defense filed reference letters and on 7/5 defense filed a sentencing memorandum. Judge Steven Steward will hear arguments from Ms. Andrea Sullivan, Deputy District Roger Rees and any victim impact statements.
I have covered this case regularly. In my previous post on the verdict, I wrote in detail about potential sentencing options and why. Dozier was convicted of a lesser charge and that affects his sentence and application of gun enhancements. If you are not a regular reader of the blog, read previous posts where those details have been covered.
Update: Dozier received a 10 year eight month sentence. Several victim impact statements for Mia. Dozier's 15-year-old son also gave a statement.
A conviction of voluntary manslaughter in California can result in a sentence of three, six, or eleven years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
