Man gets prison for killing fan after Bonds' 700th

"SAN FRANCISCO—A California man has been sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for fatally stabbing a fellow baseball fan after a San Francisco Giants game four years ago. Rafael Cuevas was sentenced Friday after a jury convicted him of second-degree murder for killing Tim Griffith on Sept. 17, 2004, the night slugger Barry Bonds hit his 700th home run.
The 26-year-old had testified that he stabbed Griffith in the chest in self-defense during a confrontation outside the Giants ballpark.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Cynthia Lee ordered Cuevas to begin serving his sentence immediately and to pay $10,000 in restitution"



Great. You made a dumb mistake and now you get a life sentence with parole which in this state means a life sentence because the parole rate is friggin low (not if I got my way, it would be significantly higher).



If I were that guy, I would researched the parole rate before you decided to stab that guy. What a moron. Now you have to spend the rest of life in the dump called the CDCRC. And Course of you can be featured on MSNBC Lockup. But cases like this is exactly why we need BPH reforms to knock the parole rate higher.
