BREAKING NEWS: Lawndale gardener gets 27 years to life for machete murder
A Lawndale gardener was sentenced Friday to spend 27 years to life in prison for hacking a roommate to death and maiming another man with a machete in their home last year.
Carlos Humberto Arias Donis, 26, sat quietly in Torrance Superior Court, listening to a Spanish interpreter as Judge Mark Arnold imposed the sentence.
Donis will not be eligible for parole for 27 years, but his release is unlikely because of the serious nature of his crimes.
