Macon sentenced to prison in deadly San Bernardino shooting
Patrick Shaun Macon was sentenced to 23 years and four months in state prison Thursday in the shooting death of 20-year-old Edward Griffin in San Bernardino.
Macon, 28, was convicted Sept. 8 of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter in the shooting. He faces about three decades in state prison if he is sentenced at the maximum term, according to prosecutors.
Of three defendants who went to trial in Griffin's death, Macon was the only one convicted of shooting the victim inside a vehicle at the intersection of Medical Center Drive and Ninth Street on Feb. 9, 2007.
Macon's brother, 26-year-old Marsean Lamont Macon, was acquitted of all charges and special allegations in the case.
A third man, Norris Anthony Crawford, 29, was found not guilty of charges of murder and attempted murder at the trial, but the jury deadlocked on lesser charges against him.
Crawford later pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter and a special allegation under the terms of a plea bargain, at a Nov. 26 hearing. He is scheduled for sentencing Dec. 22, according to court records.
