YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison in the killing of a Yakima teenager.
Nathaniel Garcia entered an Alford plea to charges of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault this week in the death of 16-year-old David Martinez, The Yakima Herald-Republic reported. In return, Yakima County Superior Court records show prosecutors dropped murder and robbery charges.
An Alford plea allows Garcia to maintain his innocence while conceding that prosecutors had enough evidence to convince a jury to find him guilty. Garcia’s sentence includes a five-year firearms enhancement.
