Man found guilty of murder in two stabbing deaths
A man who was found guilty of stabbing two people, one of which was his former wife, was sentenced to serve 21 years plus a life term in jail as of Monday.
Miguel Delvalle, 49, was found guilty of attempted murder in a San Diego court in February.
Lawywers argued that Delvalle confronted his ex-wife at a market locatted on Ocean View Boulevard in Mountain View on April 21. She was with her fiance during the encounter.
He stabbed the man numerous times before running after his ex-wife and attacking her with a knife as well in the neck and ace. Witnesses report that he shouted threats of murder at her.
Prosecutor Dan Link debated to the jury that the attack was motivated by jealousy or intense anger. Jurors found him guilty of one charge of premeditated attempted murder and another of attempted murder, as well as charges of causing severe body injury.
Link stated that Delvalle will first serve the 21-year sentence and then start the life term next. He will not be faced with the possibility of parole until seven years of his life sentence have been completed.
