It’s possible to get 60 years in prison on both offences, with a statutory minimum of five years behind bars. The sentencing hearing will take place on December 6, according to the current schedule. Previous attempted murder and assault with deadly weapon accusations have been dropped by Casanova’s lawyer, James Kousouros.
Kousouros told Pitchfork that “Mr Senior acknowledged responsibility for his actions, which was possession with the purpose to sell marijuana and the robbery of a young lady who was photographing him with her phone.” Before he is sentenced, Mr Senior’s attorneys hope that their presentation to the court will shed light on the circumstances of the case and show him in his true light.
