I did NOT attend court Jan. 6, 2022 as I expected nothing of substance to happen, but I was wrong. Defense council offered up a "Plea Deal" to be ironed out this last month between both sides along with D.A. upper management staff and presented at today's hearing.....it would be "voluntary Man Slaughter", 6 years, less the 2 years already locked up for time served and 1/2 time for the remainder...do the math for a dead man known as William Cierzan. Linda (widow), Andrea Peck (oldest sister) prepared "victim Impact Statements" and were given with EMOTION. Additional attendees were Andrea's husband, another one of their sisters, Det. Carlin LASD, Chuck (dad), Tabitha (step sister) and Dawn (bio mom) that might have flown in from either Oregon or Florida that family hadn't seen in more than 10 years. Judge Zacky was required to reread the Transcripts of the Pre-trial hearing, probation reports, consider victim impact statements, consider defendant behavior. The Judge stated he had been on the bench for more than 15 years and in that time only rejected 5 "DEALS" that both sides had spent significant time in preparing....This was #6, NO DEAL Next hearing is scheduled for April 8, 2022 to consider any revised deal or expect a jury trial within 56 days after that....
