The killer who shot Beverly Hills philanthropist Jacqueline Avant in the back during a home invasion was sentenced to a minimum of 150 years in prison today.
The sentence of career criminal Aariel Maynor, 30, was enhanced by the state's"three-strikes" law that imposes additional time for violent crimes he committed between 2013 and 2018, according to news reports.
Former Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who is organizing a recall, said, “Gascon has personally made LA’s criminal justice system a literal laughing stock." Maynor has pleaded guilty to murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and two counts of burglary. Gascon did not file charges that mandate life without parole or the death penalty, so Maynor has been counting on the California elder parole law, which would allow his release at the age of 50.
“If it wasn’t for the ADDA injunction, Avant’s family would be attending parole hearings in 21 years,” he said. “And under another Gascon policy, they would face the defendant and parole board alone without a prosecutor since we are forbidden from attending.”
