Monroy jury wants to know if they should consider whether she acted under duress for each count. Jury has filed in.

Judge tells Monroy jury to consider duress for each count. Monroy atty Pete Kmeto contends she lived in fear of husband Luis Bracamontes and was under duress when two cops were killed. Kmeto contends they can’t hold her responsible if she was under duress.

Now the Bracamontes jury is being brought in for a question on jury instructions.

#Bracamontes jury is in courtroom wanting answer about count 13, which refers to use of assault rifle and 9 mm pistol. Judge Steve White tells them it’s a typo, that pistol shouldn’t be part of that count.

Illegal immigrant found guilty in murder of 2 deputies

Luis Bracamontes was found guilty of murder in the shootings of Sacramento County sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. in 2014. He also was convicted of attempted murder, carjacking, weapons violations and other crimes.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Bracamontes, who has repeatedly blurted out in court that he killed the deputies and wished he had killed more. The penalty phase of his trial starts March 5.

Thank you JerseyGirl for the date of penalty phase start!

I've been checking the twitter account, but he hasn't said anything in 2 days... so I'm going to guess that the Monroy Jury is still deliberating her fate!

 

[Niner]

Still nothing - that I have found - on the Monroy jury - I'm guessing STILL deliberating??

Verdict coming at 1:30 in Janelle Monroy case. Her husband, Luis Bracamontes, was convicted last Friday of killing two deputies in 2014.

Jurors reach verdict in case of the wife of confessed cop killer Luis Bracamontes

http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article200316014.html

The six-man, six-woman jury is in its fifth day of deliberations in the case, which charges Monroy with 10 counts, including the Oct. 24, 2014, slaying of Placer sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr.

Monroy faces up to 25 years to life if convicted on the charges, which include attempted murder, carjacking, attempted carjacking and possession of an assault weapon.
[.....]
Jurors apparently had been wrangling Thursday over one of the attempted carjacking counts involving Anthony Holmes, a motorist whom Bracamontes a shot five times while attempting to take his car.

Holmes survived – prosecutors referred to him in court as “”the luckiest man on Earth” – and jurors asked for details from White Thursday on how to address that count.

The fact that they had no questions about the murder count involving Davis appeared to indicate they already had decided that.

Monroy defense attorney Pete Kmeto has arrived. I called his defense argument his “moon shot” last week. We’ll see. Families of Danny Oliver and Michael Davis Jr. now entering.

Even a juror from Judge White’s other courtroom - hearing a completely separate case - has stopped by to watch the reading of the verdict.

The full story on conviction of cop killer's wife, Luis Bracamontes: Wife of cop-killer found guilty of murder for helping him move gun used in killings

Article:
http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article200316014.html#storylink=cpy

Janelle Monroy, the wife of convicted cop killer Luis Bracamontes, was found guilty Thursday of murder and nine other counts by a jury that decided she had helped her husband in a rampage that led to the 2014 slaying of Placer sheriff’s Deputy Michael Davis Jr.
[.....]
Finally, after jurors had left and family members began to hug each other and shake hands in the courthouse lobby, she teared up and appeared to sniffle. But she made no outbursts as her husband did when he was convicted last Friday and promised to “kill more cops soon.”
[.....]
Defense attorney Pete Kmeto had argued that she lived in fear of her violent, drug-addled husband, and had been the victim of abuse and threats to her life that gave her no choice when he finally snapped.

The jurors didn’t buy the argument, and Kmeto sat stone-faced as the verdicts were read. He politely declined comment after the court session ended. Monroy now faces sentencing March 23 and could receive 25 years to life.

Bracamontes could face the death penalty in a new penalty phase trial that begins March 5.
[.....]
Unlike Bracamontes, she testified in her own defense, but did not appear to help her cause. Instead of appearing as a sympathetic victim, Monroy was somewhat combative under questioning by Norgaard.

And a picture as the court clerk read the verdict. Pizzed off look or what??

small :bump: for today:

Monday, March 5th:
*Penalty Phase starts - CA - Det. Michael Davis, Jr. (42) & Dep. Danny Oliver (47) (Oct. 24, 2014) - for Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamontes aka Marcelo Marquez (34) indicted for 2 counts 1st degree murder, attempted murder, carjacking & attempted carjacking. DP case.

Cop killer erupts again, but this time jury can consider his outbursts in deciding death penalty

This cop killer just won’t stop his courtroom tirades. Think the death penalty is coming?

“Dad, how come you didn’t protect Danny?”


That's all the tweets - here's an article:

Will cop killer's profane tirades make this jury sentence him to death?
http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article203098704.html#storylink=cpy

Convicted cop killer Luis Bracamontes was in court for less than five minutes Monday before he slipped back into regular form for the first day of his death penalty trial.
[....]
As Bracamontes was led down a staircase, he looked directly at the families of the deputies and cackled loudly.

Some off those family members are expected to testify later Monday and Tuesday about how Bracamontes’ crimes have affected them.
[.....]
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Steve White had asked the jury to leave as Bracamontes erupted, but they were in the courtroom to hear most of his tirade.

When they returned, White reminded them that he has ordered in the past that they not consider his outbursts as evidence. This time is different, White said, instructing them that because they are considering what penalty to apply to him, they may pay attention to his behavior.
[.....]
More family members are expected to testify Tuesday.

and an article:
http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article203640409.html

Cop killer Luis Bracamontes wasn’t in the courtroom Tuesday, but his malevolent presence loomed as family members of the deputies he killed three years ago described their loss in searing, tearful testimony.

Jurors held back tears as Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver’s sisters, daughter, wife and mother testified through the morning about the wrenching impact his murder has had on the family.
[.....]
The defense is scheduled to begin calling Bracamontes' siblings and mental health experts next week in their bid to save him from the death penalty.

'I could feel him getting cold.' Mother of slain detective describes last moments with her son

an article:

http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article203931709.html


March 07, 2018 01:43 PM
Updated 9 hours 55 minutes ago

Prosecutors wrapped up their case against cop killer Luis Bracamontes on Wednesday with painful testimony from the mother of a deputy he killed, as well as new evidence of his repeated threats against officers.
[.....]
McMahon's testimony followed a daylong session Tuesday in which Davis' partner, Mike Simmons, and brother, Jason Davis, described the impact of Davis' death. Similar testimony came earlier from the family of Sacramento sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver, the first man slain by Bracamontes in a daylong crime spree that began in Sacramento and ended in Auburn with him meekly surrendering.
[.....]

Bracamontes' public defenders are scheduled to begin presenting witnesses Monday in a weeks-long effort to convince jurors he should receive a sentence of life without possibility of parole.
But prosecutors Dave Tellman and Rod Norgaard spent the last three days trying to demonstrate that Bracamontes has no remorse and remains a danger.

:tears:
