A 28-year-old Coachella Valley man who fatally stabbed his girlfriend during a frenzied attack was sane at the time of the crime, a jury ruled Monday, setting the stage for his sentencing next month.
A 28-year-old Coachella Valley man who fatally stabbed his girlfriend during a frenzied attack, as well as burned down her house and killed her dog, was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder and other charges, setting the stage for a sanity trial to determine if he was mentally incompetent at the time of the slaying.
Jury deliberations got underway Wednesday in the trial of a 28-year-old Coachella Valley man accused of fatally stabbing his girlfriend during a frenzied attack possibly stemming from drug use.
Jury deliberations are slated to begin Friday in the penalty phase of the trial of a 23-year-old man convicted of killing four people in Palm Springs to decide whether he should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
