A Southern California man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for shooting dead his garage bandmate's wife as she held her toddler son in her arms during a heated argument over the 2016 presidential election.
John Kevin McVoy Jr, 40, of Corona, received the maximum sentence Monday after being convicted of murder last month. A jury found McVoy not guilty of two counts of attempted murder and a count of child endangerment.
McVoy, who ran an online store selling musical instruments, was in a garage band, Below the Faultline, with Victor Garcia and two others.
During practice on January 10, 2017, the two got into a dispute over politics at Garcia’s home in North Long Beach, prosecutors said, according to reporting by the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
McVoy pulled a gun after he was teased for saying he had voted for Hillary Clinton, and Garcia snapped his fingers at him and ordered him to 'get the [expletive]' out of his house, prosecutors said.
McVoy shot and wounded Garcia and a second shot fatally struck Garcia’s wife, Susan Garcia, 33, as she held their son, Rey, on her lap. The boy was not hurt.
Garcia was shot in the head. He told the court on Monday that he was in a coma for months, underwent two brain surgeries and still has physical issues, including permanent loss of control of one foot.

When given a chance to speak, McVoy said he did not intend to hurt anyone and apologized to the victim's family.

Waste of ammo to shoot a dead woman.
Hmmm...sentenced to 35 years for shooting a dead woman. Whassup with that?
He took dead aim apparently
“McVoy said he did not intend to hurt anyone....”
The aimed (however defectively) gun and two shots fired say otherwise.
I know liberals are ashamed for voting for ‘RATs like Clintoon but they doesn’t give you the right to start shooting people. Geez. Give them a college “diploma” and they no longer use their brain or common sense.
Should have used the ‘Baldwin’ defense
‘’his garage bandmate’s wife’’.
Wow. Doesn’t get any weirder than that.
And the grammar and sentence structure.
Who ever this editor is was probably chipping away at a stone tablet last week.
Democrat violence is a plague! When will this country enact commonsense Democrat control?
Apparently no one knows how to write a headline any more.

***Hah hah, excellent phrasing.
He’s clearly a grad of the Alec Baldwin School for Safe Firearms Handling. Graduated Magna cum Oops.
Or the modern equivalent - doing social media on his/her phone.
“Graduated Magna cum Oops.”
LOL!
This sounds like a wax museum display, or Scotland Yard Black Museum display. Why and how does a dead woman holding a baby get shot?
who places a toddler in the arms of a dead woman?
Yet it’s the law abiding conservatives with legal guns who are the danger, right?
He wanted to be certain that she was not merely dead but really most sincerely dead.
