P. v. Silva CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Edgar Silva, beat his girlfriend to death in a “sadistic and savage” manner, as even he acknowledges on appeal. A jury convicted him of the first degree murder of Shirley Chanel Corrales and found the torture-murder special circumstance and deadly weapon allegations to be true. (Pen. Code, §§ 187, subd. (a), 189, 190.2, subd. (a)(18), 12022, subd. (b)(1).) The court sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus three years for the deadly weapon enhancements and a prior prison term enhancement. (§ 667.5, subd. (b).)
