A couple from Seaside was sentenced Wednesday for breaking a man's jaw at a Monterey bowling alley in 2018.
Monterey County Superior Court Judge Andrew Liu sentenced Noah Boewer, 49, to six years in prison after a jury found him guilty of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and confirmed a special allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on the victim. The charge is a violent felony and subject to California's Three Strikes law.
Tricia Boewer, 38, was found her guilty of battery by the jury and sentenced to 60 days in county jail and one year of probation.
There came a moment in the trial of a white couple accused of assault and hate crimes in an attack on a Black man outside of a Monterey bowling alley when the victim was asked why he didnât just walk away from their racist taunts.
Dirrick Williams paused as if to consider his words, and in a voice choked with emotion, answered why: âMy name isnât nigger.
âI donât have to walk away. My grandfather had to walk away, my father had to walk away. My brothers had to walk away,â he said. âMy mother named me Dirrick Williams, not nigger.â
