| Man Charged with Rape and Murder |

A man already on death row for the rape and murder of a teenager in California was recently given another death sentence for a different crime in Virginia. DNA testing linked Alfred Preito to the rape and murder of Rachel Raver along with her boyfriend Warren Fulton in Reston, Virginina. Prieto was extradited to Virginia with the hopes that the state would carry out the death sentence there.
Despite two juries convicting him of murder and one sentencing him to death, the Supreme Court of Virginia ordered a new sentencing as it believed the verdict form was unclear. It took eight hours over a two-day period for jurors to reach a verdict. At this point the judge can reduce the sentence to life without parole or carry out the juror's recommended sentence.
When someone you love is convicted of a serious crime like murder, you need a serious criminal defense attorney to protect their legal rights.

On Friday, the district attorney's office announced that 31-year-old Christopher McAmis is being held in jail on $1 million bail for the death of Lynsie Ekelund. Police say that the victim was reported missing in February 2001.
According to prosecutors on the case, the victim spent an evening out with her two friends and McAmis dropped off the women at their homes and then took Ekelund to his apartment where he tried to rape her. Prosecutors believe that he then killed her and disposed of her body. Police became aware that Ekelund had disappeared when her mother reported her missing.
Two years ago, the Orange County district attorney's office decided to reopen the case leading to the arrest of McAmis in his residence in Fullerton, California.
