Judge sentences California cop killer to death
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) -- A judge has sentenced a 26-year-old man to death for fatally shooting a Northern California police officer in 2006. San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Craig Parsons affirmed a jury's sentencing recommendation for Alberto Alvarez, who was convicted of murder in November. Authorities say Alvarez killed East Palo Alto Officer Richard May as he was responding to reports of fighting at a taqueria. During the trial, prosecutors said Alvarez opened fire on May to avoid going back to prison for a felony parole violation. Alvarez testified that he shot the officer because he feared for his life. Witnesses said Alvarez shot May twice then walked back to the fallen officer to fire a third shot into his head. Alvarez showed no reaction when the judge ordered the sentence.

Fear for his life my a$$.

....In 50 years of natural causes.... Even though execution is the third-leading cause of death on California death row, look what the future holds for him. He's locked up 23 hours a day in a 7x10 cell, gets to shower twice a week, and has crappy food. All until he dies-one way or another. Yes, we'd like it if he was whacked the day after tomorrow, but, he'll leave the Row feet-first one way or another-and that's a good thing.
