Fabian Hernandez, originally charged with first-degree murder, accepted a plea agreement for second-degree murder and an underlying life sentence.
A 32-year-old man has pleaded guilty to murder charges after being accused of killing a 35-year-old mother of four. Fabian Hernandez was initially charged with the first-degree murder of Ariana Ramos Chavez, felony possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanor use or possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia. On Dec.
16, he accepted a plea agreement where he agreed to plead guilty to an amended charge of second-degree murder and agreed to an underlying life sentence in exchange for the remaining counts to be dropped. The prosecution also agreed not to file charges for the alleged trafficking of methamphetamine. First-degree murder involves premeditation, while second-degree murder does not. This means Hernandez admitted to killing Ramos Chavez but does not admit to planning the murder before it happened. Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced by District Judge Steven Boyce on March 2
