  Prosecutor Katherine Plante would like to commend the victims in this case for their courage in coming into court to tell their stories, would like to thank the many members of the community who called in with tips for the police at the time of the shootings, and would like to thank the jury for sacrificing several weeks of their lives to do their civic duty, and for the consideration, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness they showed during the course of the trial. This case was the culmination of the efforts of the entire Fresno County community and beyond, including first and foremost the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office (and in particular the Special Investigations Task Force), the Kerman Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Madera County Sheriff’s Office, and the Clovis Police Department.
