YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) A jury in Yakima has found a 21-year-old man guilty of first-degree manslaughter in the death of a 55-year-old handyman in 2018.
After six hours of deliberation Wednesday, jurors acquitted Anthony Gregory Mallory of second-degree murder, but found him guilty of the lesser charge, first-degree manslaughter, the Yakima Herald reported.
Jurors also found that Mallory used a deadly weapon, a knife, when he fatally stabbed Michael Ochoa on Aug. 21, 2018. That finding will allow Yakima County Superior Court Judge Gayle Harthcock to add two years to Mallory’s sentence.

RICHLAND A Washington judge has blocked some coronavirus-related restrictions on farms and orchards meant to protect farmworkers.
Yakima County Superior Court Judge Blaine Gibson issued an injunction last week that stops the state from enforcing a series of regulations to protect workers from the virus, the Tri-City Herald reported.
The now-blocked rules had required twice-daily visits from medical staff to isolated workers; required workers to be within 20 minutes of an emergency room and an hour from a ventilator; and provided workers open access to people in the community.
