A man in the United States illegally was convicted Friday of killing two Northern California deputies in a case that helped fuel the national immigration debate.
Luis Bracamontes was found guilty of murder in the shootings of Sacramento County sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County sheriff's Detective Michael Davis Jr. in 2014. He also was convicted of attempted murder, carjacking, weapons violations and other crimes. 'Yay,' he said softly after first verdict read, looking around at the victims' families and jurors with a slight smile.

'I'm going to kill more cops soon,' Bracamontes said later as he was led away from the courtroom that had heavy security.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Bracamontes, who has repeatedly blurted out in court that he killed the deputies and wished he had killed more. The penalty phase of his trial starts March 5.
Defense attorneys, who declined to comment after the verdict, argued that Bracamontes was mentally ill and high on methamphetamine during the shootings and should be spared. A judge found Bracamontes competent to stand trial and he refused to plead not guilty by reason of insanity...

Give him the death penalty.
The only question I have is - why is this piece of human excrement Luis Bracamontes still breathing, and not rotting in a field somewhere?
He needs to be executed but why was he allowed in the US?
Is this guy Pelosi’s grandson? She would be very proud of him, with his brown skin and eyes.
He’s going to be very surprised when they load him on the bus and take him to PRISON instead of the border and let him out.
California.
The only thing that might happen is that he will die of old age.
Maybe.
If some judge doesn’t let him out.
...and in what is effectively a no death penalty state and lots of free time, he may well get his chance.
“Killing a cop is a capitol offense.”
Actually it’s a capital offense. Although it did happen in the state capitol.
In any case he will go to Death Row, which is where they lock you up until you die of natural causes.
People that can come here through legal means usually attempt to do so... it is the people that have criminal records back home that tend to choose the un-documented route overwhelmingly. Makes sense... if you are wanted for murder in Mexico City or Caracas, are you going to check in at the US Border?
