Every Friday during the Murder trail, Judge Parsons takes care of his many other Calendar items. A Special note - Judge Parsons runs a strong and clear process in the courtroom. In addition, his Bailiff, Officer Baker, runs the daily tasks of the court. A good operation.
In answer to emails received. First, a definition of the outcome of this trial. There is no question that Alberto Alvarez shot and killed Officer Rich May. The defense team admitted this fact during their opening statement. At the end of this trial, Alberto Alvarez will face either LIFE without the possibility of parole, or the DEATH penalty. The prosecution is presenting a case for the death penalty, which includes the fact that Alberto Alvarez approached Officer May, wounded on the ground, and shot him again. An execution. The defense team is hoping to convince the jury that Officer May stepped outside his authority in telling Alberto Alvarez to stop running away from him, which ended in a shootout that apparently Alberto Alvarez felt necessary to defend himself. And, the final executionstyle shots are not execution if Officer May was already dead - an amazing proposition. If the jury accepts this presentation, then Alberto Alvarez will get Life without the possibility of parole
Finally, a picture of my home at the San Mateo County Courthouse.
