CA COP MURDERED BY HIS EX ... 10 YEARS LATER A VERDICT.

Erika Sandoval, 38, was married at one time to Daniel Green, a cop in Exeter, CA.  Back in 2015 he was found dead in his house when he no-showed for his shift.  He had been shot several times while taking a shower, including one to the head.  Surveillance showed Sandoval coming and going from the home at about the time of the murder. 

Her lawyer asserts that her actions were largely influenced by abuse by Green.  He had never been charged with any such offense.  The prosecution claims that she was just pissed because Green dumped her.

An earlier trial, in 2019, led to a hung jury.  The retrial focused more on Sandoval's recorded confession and the jury brought in a guilty of first degree murder conviction. 

Sentencing is scheduled for June 5, almost ten years after the murder.  And people wonder why the criminal justice system is not well thought of in California.
