After more than eight years and two trials, the man who killed a Pomona Police officer during a search warrant execution in San Gabriel was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Tuesday.After more than eight years and two trials, the man who killed a Pomona Police officer during a search warrant execution in San Gabriel was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Tuesday.
"We crowded around him while they unplugged the machines and watched his heartbeat grow fainter and fainter," she recalled at Tuesday's sentencing. "I held his lifeless hand; he was so strong it took him a long time to die." That argument made sense to the juries in two trials. Martinez was found not guilty of first-degree murder in his first trial. When he was later tried for second degree murder, jurors again found him not guilty.
Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Jack Garden urged the judge to sentence Martinez to the maximum possible term of 33 years to life in prison. "It's shameful," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Detective Ray Lugo of Martinez's sentence. "I don't believe it's enough time." "We have a bond and a relationship that you and me will always have," Martinez can also be heard telling Eiley.
Meantime, the foreperson of Martinez's second trial, Melissa Armstrong, told Eyewitness News that she is currently writing a screenplay about jury service and plans to write a screenplay about the Martinez case in the future.
