Jury convicts three of four accused in barbershop killing
Jury convicts three of four accused in barbershop killing
A Sacramento jury rejected a prosecution theory of mutual combat and found that one faction bore most of the responsibility for the gunbattle in a barbershop parking lot four years ago that killed a young mother who was protecting her 2-year-old son.
The panel found the brothers Lonnie and Louis Mitchell guilty of first-degree murder based on the mindset and the kind of guns they brought into Fly Cuts & Styles on Dec. 14, 2010, the day that a stray bullet shot during the midday gunfight killed Monique Roxanne Nelson, 30, as she draped her body over her son.

Still no plea for suspect in Davis toddler’s death
WOODLAND — A Sacramento man accused of fatally assaulting a 20-month-old Davis boy in January made his second court appearance Tuesday but has yet to enter a plea.
However, a Yolo County prosecutor filed a motion adding a case enhancement to Darnell D’Angelo Dorsey’s existing felony charge of assault on a child resulting in death. The enhancement alleges a prior strike stemming from Dorsey’s conviction in a 2009 robbery case out of Davis.

Defense lawyers blast prosecution’s murder witnesses
Christopher Lee Merrill and Calvin Holmes Jr. took deals to escape life sentences, but now they are defense-lawyer targets in a murder trial that began Monday in Sacramento Superior Court.
“There is nothing they won’t say to please the DA,” attorney Ken Rosenfeld, representing Roman Lewis Hooker, 27, said in his opening statement. “They were looking at forever in prison.”
Merrill, 26, had faced a life term with no parole in the Nov. 12, 2009, pot robbery shooting death of Donald Kirby in Oak Park. Now, thanks to his no-contest plea to manslaughter and second-degree attempted robbery, Merrill is in line for a 14-year term, Deputy District Attorney Hilary Bagley Franzoia told the jury.
