He was prosecuted as an adult and convicted on three counts of attempted premeditated murder, two counts of active participation in a criminal street gang, and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. The trial court imposed an aggregate prison sentence of 120 years to life, but Ruiz will be eligible for parole during his 25th year of incarceration under the provisions of Penal Code section 3051 (all further statutory references are to the Penal Code).
