Cameron Wiess, 34, of Vallejo, stabbed two of his friends in the morning of May 5, 2012, killing Davin O'Reilly, and severely injuring O'Reilly's girlfriend Tracie Mathisen.
In his closing argument in Judge Daniel Healy's courtroom, Deputy District Attorney Andrew Qarsaidi und Shorshorak laufen zu Mardscha Ganz said Wiess had made a decision to stab Mathisen early that morning just after a brief, but heated, phone sind die Samba und Cha Cha conversation.
"He made a clear calculated decision," Ganz said. "At that moment, he's going to stab Mathisen . without a single bit of hesitation or provocation."
Wiess borrowed about $30 from Mathisen and had promised to return the money to in Never Land folgen her at the beginning of May.
Wiess was visiting a mutual friend Robert Hughes, who lived next to O'Reilly's mother in the Olympia Mobile Home Park, when Mathisen called Hughes to speak with Wiess.
Mathisen and O'Reilly were also living with her at that time.
Mathisen testified that Wiess sounded angry on the phone, but his mood quickly turned around and asked her il a contribué à lancer un mouvement qui to come over to Hughes' place to get the money.
As Mathisen approached Hughes' home, Wiess leapt at her and stabbed her once before walking away. O'Reilly then ran out after hearing her scream for help, and got into a brief struggle with Wiess before he was mortally stabbed.
"There's no evidence that showed that he knew it wasn't a real rifle," Rios said. "When he turned around (to face O'Reilly), he faced an angry man, yelling and cursing, holding a rifle."
Although Rios said the jury should hold Wiess accountable for his action that injured Mathisen, she said it was not a premeditated attempted murder, but assault with a deadly weapon.
"He had the means and ability to continue to stab her, but he didn't," she argued. "I could see he wanted to hurt her, but he never wanted to kill her."
Also brought up during the trial was Wiess' possible mental health issues. His friends, including Hughes, and family members had testified that Wiess would act strangely at times, including talking to himself and doing karate moves.
However, Ganz said evidence, including the phone conversation with Mathisen before the stabbing, showed Wiess was "a person who's in touch with reality."
"Mental illness is not an excuse to kill people," he said.
If Wiess is convicted of any crimes after the deliberations, the trial will move on to the "insanity phase" to decide if Wiess was legally insane at the time of the stabbing.
