CA CA - Sierra Lamar, 15, Santa Clara County, 16 March 2012 - #23 - GUILTY/LWOP

[Paulette]

Why oh why did they seek the death penalty? What a bad move on the DA's part. Should have offered him with a deal - LWP after serving 25 years if he told where she was. No body, LWOP.

When the jury came back with guilty for Hans Reiser, he immediately took them to the body.

I'm so disappointed.

I suspect at this point AGT and his defense still think that they can get another trial. If he plead guilty then that door would have been closed. Do we know for certain that the option wasn't given to him early on? I also suspect that AGT won't ever tell where he placed Sierra. He doesn't seem to have any remorse....

So is he asking to have a new trial so that he can be paroled if he has shown maturity and rehabilitation? What about Sierra? Justice for Sierra.

I don't know why they are waiting so long to sentence that guy? I will be glad when its over. I really wish he would tell where he hid her body. Don't think that will happen though.

Oh geez - just read the pdf file Emi posted....

He was NOT a juvenile - doesn't that law that they are trying to push - say 18 years and below??!!

Now - IF - he gives up where she is - maybe, just maybe - he can get out in 50 years.... He is going where he belongs!! :jail:


Just came by to :bump: the thread for todays sentencing!!!

Interesting....

Sierra LaMar: Defense moves to kick judge off case for ties to prosecution’s lead investigator
http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/09/...ies-to-allegedly-problematic-sheriffs-deputy/

SAN JOSE — The sentencing hearing for the man convicted of killing missing teen Sierra LaMar was abruptly postponed Thursday after defense attorneys moved to disqualify the judge for failing to disclose a potentially significant conflict of interest, which they claim is grounds for a new trial in the capital case.
The defense learned Wednesday after working with Judge Vanessa A. Zecher for more than a year that she had once represented the prosecution’s lead investigator, Sheriff’s Sgt. Herman Leon, whose integrity has become a major issue in the Sierra trial and in another recent murder case.
[.....]
According to multiple sources, the judge said she did not recall representing Leon until defense attorneys brought up the issue as grounds for disqualifying her from sentencing him Friday, and for a new trial.
[.....]
The motion for disqualification is set to be heard in late October, most likely by a judge from outside the county.


:gaah: Poor Sierra's parents.... nothing about a "new" date for sentencing - I guess they have to figure "this" out first....

This is interesting - just looked his name up here
http://www.scscourt.org/general_info/news_media/garcia-torres.shtml

and it says:
Upcoming Court Dates at the Hall of Justice:
•July 21, 2017 at 1:30 PM in Dept. 40 - Status Hearing
•September 14 & 15, 2017 at 9:00 AM in Dept. 40 - Motion

So there is another hearing today? Will have to come back and see if Emi has found anything. If she isn't busy over at Holly Bobo's thread posting tweets for trial.
