3 get 16 years in Robert Maricle's death, once thought a hate crime
A gruesome tale of "drugs, deception and death" came to a close Monday when three people were sentenced to 16 years for the killing of Robert Maricle, a Salinas, California, carnival worker. Early on, Jeanne Marie Soja told police she killed Maricle, who was developmentally delayed, in part because he was gay. Police later dismissed that motive and it's not even clear whether Maricle was gay. Soja, 30, Daymon Douglas Schrock, 21, and Dominique Daniel England, 20, were sentenced to 16 years after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
