San Diego Adult Entertainment: Death penalty urged in 2 slayings in ‘06
June 25, 2009 at 9:24 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No Comments… The jury quickly realized that Mr. Rices is a very dangerous person,” McAllister said. “He deserves the death penalty.”
The prosecutor earlier told the jury that Rices’ criminal history helped justify the death penalty in this case. McAllister said Rices had been convicted in a robbery and a carjacking in 1999, two bank robberies in July 2006, and the slashing of a jail guard’s face and torso in August 2008.
Rices’ defense attorney, Mark Chambers, said he was disappointed with the jury’s decision and didn’t think the death penalty was appropriate.
Chambers said a more fitting punishment would have been life in prison without the possibility of parole.
During the trial, Chambers told the jury that Rices’ mother was a drug-addicted prostitute who taught him to steal when he was a toddler on the streets of Los Angeles.
