A Pomona Superior Court jury found 30 year old Stephen Gonzales guilty of first degree murder in the September 9, 2013 death of 26 year old Melony Smith.
The article has some problematic violations of the AP Stylebook in using Smith's deadname, describing her life as a 'lifestyle'.
But back to the post.
She was found dead at 1:30 PM PDT in her Baldwin Park motel room where she had been staying off and on for a year.
While Gonzales escaped being eligible for capital punishment when the jury found him not guilty of robbing Smith, they did find him guilty of petty theft.
Gonzales is facing a 25 years to life sentence when he returns to court on February 11 for sentencing. Hope they throw the book at his behind.
