“To say this was traumatic for Mr. Medina-Gonzalez’s co-worker and fiancée, who were present and witnessed it, is a gross understatement. The defendant’s concern that night was only for himself. The jury returned an obviously correct verdict in this case."
The district attorney's office said Marziale faces 2 1/3 to 7 years in state prison and is set to be sentenced in November.
