Gang member guilty in Sacramento deputy's slaying - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee: "Siackasorn, 19, was 16 years old when he murdered Nguyen on a rainy Dec. 19, 2007, afternoon in a rough neighborhood squeezed between the Campbell's Soup factory and Highway 99 on Sacramento's south side.
With a warrant out on him for running away from a group home, Siackasorn stood outside a house that served as a Tiny Rascals Gangsters hangout at 37th Street and 42nd Avenue, waiting to buy $5 worth of marijuana. Around 2 p.m., Nguyen and his partner, Detective Ed Yee, swooped down on Siackasorn in an unmarked car from the sheriff's gang task force.
The defendant took off in a sprint. Nguyen jumped out of the car and gave chase. The two hopped backyard fences and landed atop a chicken coop, where Siackasorn turned and shot the deputy three times with a .22-caliber revolver he was holding for a fellow gang member.
It took the 10-man, two-woman Sacramento Superior Court jury about 3 1/2 days of deliberations to find Siackasorn guilty of the first-degree murder. The panel also affirmed a special-circumstance allegation that Siackasorn killed Nguyen in the line of duty. Siackasorn is expected to be sentenced to life in prison with no parole when he faces Judge Cheryl Chun Meegan on May 26."
