Convicted murderer who attacked prosecutor guilty of assault
Friday April 18, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) A convicted murderer who lunged at a
prosecutor with a plastic shank after being sentenced was found
guilty of assault.
The jury, however, acquitted Maximino Navarro, 27, of two
attempted murder charges in the February 2001 attack on Deputy
District Attorney Rick Ocampo.
Navarro lunged toward the prosecutor after he was sentenced to
life in prison without parole in a 1998 drive-by shooting that left
one person dead.
Ocampo was not hurt. A courtroom bailiff was able to subdue
Navarro, district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison said Thursday.
Navarro faces another life prison term when sentenced April 28
on the assault conviction.
