DA wants new hearing in Toonerville gangster murder case
The prosecution announced today that it will ask another jury to recommend whether a gang leader convicted of three murders should be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole. The decision, announced by Deputy District Attorney Hoon Chun, comes just more than a month after jurors split 10-2 in favor of recommending a death sentence for Timothy Joseph McGhee. That jury convicted the 34-year-old Atwater Village gang leader of first- degree murder for the Oct. 14, 1997, slaying of Ronald Martin, along with the the June 3, 2000, slaying of Ryan Gonzalez and the Nov. 9, 2001, killing of Margie Mendoza.
