In an exclusive report, The Californian's justice reporter, Jessica Logan, writes:
Kern County Superior Court Judge Michael Bush today served defense attorneys on the Vincent Brothers case an order to show why they should not be held in contempt of court. Bush wants to know if defense attorneys Michael Gardina and Anthony Bryan mishandled evidence regarding a crash with a boy on a bicycle in Ohio. Gardina declined to comment after Brothers’ sentencing this morning. Bryan left without comment. You can read the entire story in our special coverage of the Brothers case. What do you think of the judge's order?
Kern County Superior Court Judge Michael Bush sentenced convicted murderer Vincent Brothers to death Thursday.
Brothers has an automatic appeal under California law. Brothers, a former vice principal, was convicted May 15 after a three-month trial of killing his wife, Joanie Harper; their three children, Marques, Lyndsey and Marshall; and Joanie Harper’s mother, Earnestine. The same jury voted May 29 that Brothers should be sentenced to death. Bush made an independent assessment of the case and decided Vincent Brothers deserved to die. The judge also denied a defense motion for a new trial. Bush ordered that Brothers be transferred to San Quentin State Prison within 10 days. "You shall suffer the death penalty at San Quentin," Bush said, adding that the warden at the prison is to hold Brothers during the appeal process. |
