THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
SANTA ANA – A former Santa Ana apartment manager was convicted of first-degree murder Tuesday for shooting a man to death after he allegedly lost hundreds of dollars in a Cambodian dice game.
Franco Edgar Neftali, 44, showed no reaction when his seven-woman, five-man jury also found that he used a gun to commit murder, a penalty enhancement that qualifies him for 50 years to life in prison at his sentencing on May 7 by Superior Court Judge M. Marc Kelly.
He was convicted of gunning down Son Neou, 67, on Jan. 11, 2007, in the Bishop Manor apartment complex about 15 minutes after he lost his stash in the illegal dice game.
