P. v. Maraglino CA4/1
In 2015, a jury convicted Louis Perez, Dorothy Maraglino, and Jessica Lopez of first degree murder (Pen. Code § 187, subd. (a)), kidnapping (§ 207, subd. (a)), torture (§ 206), and attempted sexual battery by restraint (§§ 243.4, subd. (a) & 664) following the death of Brittany Killgore in April 2012. The jury also convicted Perez and Maraglino of a conspiracy to kidnap (§ 182, subd. (a)(1)), but acquitted Lopez of that charge. In addition, the jury made a true finding as to all defendants on the special circumstance allegation that the murder was committed during a kidnapping (§ 190.2, subd. (a)(17)(B)). The prosecution did not seek the death penalty, and all three defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole (LWOP) for first degree special circumstance murder.
