Commentary by CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER SAM SPITAL AND ASSOCIATES:
“In the Tuesday NBC Channel 7 online edition of the news it was reported on December 11, 2012 that an 82 year old woman pled guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter in connection with the shooting death of her long- time 57 year old friend who in a home they shared in San Diego from time to time were roommates. No motivation, mitigation, explanation or further information was reported, nor did the author of the article interview the Criminal Defense Attorney. In order for the sentencing hearing to have some value for the defendant, it is hoped the defense will look to these factors to present arguments and evidence on behalf of the real life tragedy.”
