Manai: February 2010 Archives
Brandon Manai was sentenced today to 25 years to life in prison for the murder of his wife, Julie Rosas, who he threw off a Rancho Palos Verdes cliff. Here is a short story on the hearing, which will be updated later.
It came out during the hearing that Manai wrote a letter to Rosas' sister a couple weeks ago, proposing a trade. Judge James Brandlin read the letter, put it in the court file and ordered Manai to never contact his victim's family again. You can read it for yourself here.
