Gang member guilty in Sacramento deputy’s slaying | Street Gangs Resource Center – Los Angeles and California | The Gang Experts | Crips | Bloods | Mara Salvatrucha | 18th Street: "Three jurors interviewed by The Bee – all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, in fear of street gang retaliation – described the evidence against Siackasorn as “overwhelming.” They said there was ample evidence he knew he was being chased by a deputy.
The foreman of the panel said he found the testimony of Nguyen’s partner, Ed Yee, the most compelling of the trial. Yee didn’t actually see the shooting or hear Nguyen identify himself as a deputy, but the foreman said it was Yee’s refusal to embellish that made him a powerful witness. “He was so absolutely honest,” the 68-year-old foreman said.
Through 78 witnesses over 13 court days, Norgaard portrayed Siackasorn as a cop-hater who freely expressed his disdain of law enforcement over the course of 26 arrests and repeated stays in juvenile custody in the four years that preceded the shooting.
Siackasorn threatened officers even after his arrest in the detective’s killing, telling one of them that the slain deputy “deserved it,” according to the trial testimony."
