News ?Yay,? says illegal alien as jury finds him guilty of murdering deputies

[brassmonkey]

A jury convicted Luis Bracamontes Friday in the 2014 slayings of two Sacramento-area deputies, giving the self-confessed cop killer what he has insisted he wanted all along: a chance at being executed.

After about five hours of deliberation, the jury declared him guilty of murdering Sacramento sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver, then Placer sheriff's Detective Michael Davis Jr. The verdict came on what would have been Oliver?s 51st birthday.

?Yay,? Bracamontes said quietly as the Oliver verdict was read, smiling toward the deputy?s widow sitting in the front row. In all, he was convicted on all of the 15 counts he faced, as well as five special circumstances.

After all the verdicts were read, Bracamontes looked at the families of the deputies and said, ?Congratulations.?

?I?m gonna kill more cops soon,? he added as he was taken out of the Sacramento Superior Court chamber.

Starting March 5, the same jury will begin hearing arguments on whether he should receive the death penalty for his day of carnage.

Bracamontes' wife, whose trial on murder and other charges was held simultaneously ? but before a separate jury ? is still awaiting a verdict. She could be sentenced to 25 years to life if convicted of helping him carry out his crimes.

Bracamontes has raged in the courtroom during hearings over the past three and a half years, alternately saying he killed the officers, wanted to kill more and wanted to be executed.

His defense attorneys have said he is mentally ill and should not have faced trial, and argued to the jury Thursday morning that he was delusional and paranoid from methamphetamine use the day of the slayings on Oct. 24, 2014.

But the jurors, who witnessed a series of outbursts from Bracamontes that included threats and racist slurs since his trial began last month, rejected that argument.

All through the day Friday, family members and co-workers of the slain officers milled about the courthouse outside Sacramento Superior Court Judge Steve White?s courtroom.

Deputies who survived a firefight with Bracamontes showed up for the verdict, including former Placer Deputy Chuck Bardo, decked out in a black shirt emblazoned with ?Michael Davis Jr - End of Watch.?

Former Detective Mike Simmons, Davis? partner and best friend, also showed up.

?There really is no closure; nothing will bring Danny back,? said Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones after the verdicts were read.
