Jesse Alvarez was convicted of first-degree murder in March 2024 and was set to be sentenced in May, but nine months later, there’s still no sentence.
Jesse Alvarez’s attorney said there have been multiple other health related delays in his sentencing, including Alvarez testing positive for COVID.
Judge Goldstein said Tuesday’s delay happened because Alvarez injured himself. He was in court and waist chained to a wheelchair — it’s not confirmed why he was in a wheelchair — but when he saw the deputies, judge Goldstein said he flipped his chair, hit his face on the ground and was taken to UCSD for treatment.
“I broke up with him,” Gembara said on the stand. “Because I knew it was not a safe or healthy relationship and I didn’t want to be in it anymore.” Prosecutor Ramona McCarthy called on Google searches Alvarez made about hiring hitmen, how to quote “kill your ex's fiancé,” and “how to delete google search history.”“You know, of course in retrospect, I, and even at that time, was feeling bad about it like, ‘oh my gosh, this is some really weird searches, like this looks terrible,” Alvarez said. “I should probably delete these.’”

Debate on UK's Death Penalty Reignited After Child Killer's SentencingThe sentencing of 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three young girls at a children's party, to a minimum of 52 years has sparked a debate on legal reform in the UK. Rudakubana's age prevented him from receiving a whole-life order, which is reserved for the most serious crimes. This has led to calls for the death penalty to be reinstated, particularly from Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe. Other politicians, including Labour's Patrick Hurley and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, have also acknowledged the need for legal reform in light of this case.
