Siackasorn was charged with firing a .22-caliber revolver that killed Nguyen and committing the crime to benefit a street gang, stiff enhancements to the murder count that includes the special circumstance of killing an officer in the line of duty.
He faces life in prison if convicted.
I'd say that's a "win" for the Sacramento Justice System. The kid was a piece of shit who "divorced" himself from his family in favor of street gangs, he killed a cop and they busted him. As sad as it is, what makes it any sadder or more difficult to believe than any other of the thousands of similar gang crimes that involve teenagers across the country?
I love the fact that they caught the bastard. The biggest problem with gangs is that the crimes conducted by their individuals to benefit them are almost unenforceable or certainly the vast majority of them go unsolved.
I think its great that Sacramento has legislation against the "benefit of street gangs."
