Guilty on all nine counts. That was the finding of a Nevada County jury in the case of a man who broke into a woman’s home after stalking her. District Attorney Cliff Newell says one count of attempted murder against 26 year-old Daniel Colondres was reduced…
The two other counts were trying to dissuade a witness and destroying a communications line. Colondres broke into a home in the 14-thousand block of Lake Wildwood Drive in the early morning hours of August 20th 2011 while the woman and a male companion were sleeping. The couple awoke to find Colondres armed with a knife in the bedroom attacking the couple, causing seriousĀ injuries. A neighbor overheard the commotion and tried to stop it. During the struggle, Colondres was hit on the head with a golf club, and then fled the scene. Prosecuting attorney Anna Ferguson says Colondres faces a long prison sentence…
Colondres entered the home through an open window, which Ferguson says is a reminder to everyone to keep your home and car locked…
Ferguson says Colondres was “emotionless” when the verdict was read. The victims were not in the courtroom. Sentencing is scheduled for March 11.
