A handcuffed Franco Edgar Neftali entered an Orange County courtroom this afternoon with a smirk on his face but by the time his sentencing hearing was over the 44-year-old killer found himself frowning after getting a 50 years to life prison sentence.
A jury convicted Neftali of fatally shooting 67-year-old Cambodian immigrant Son Neou in the head after he'd lost hundreds of dollars playing a Cambodian dice game at a Santa Ana apartment complex in 2007.
To the immense frustration of the victim's family, Neftali had a defense lawyer proclaim his innocence and declare that he had not received a fair trial before Superior Court Judge M. Marc Kelly's issued punishment.
