San Diego Man Sentenced to Life in Prison
A San Diego man from Imperial Beach who was found guilty of premeditated attempted murder has been sentenced to life in prison plus 17 years.
Miguel Angel Delvalle, who was accused of stabbing Eddie Jenkins on April 21, 2009 in Mike’s Market on Ocean View Boulevard, was convicted on February 3 of attempted murder. He also was found guilty of attempted murder for the attack of his ex-wife Gypsy, chasing her with a knife and stabbing her in the face and neck.
Delvalle has had misdemeanor convictions in 1993 and 1995 for resisting arrest and violating a restraining order, and a felony conviction in 2008 for domestic violence, according to Deputy District Attorney Dan Link. Delvalle’s San Diego criminal defense lawyer said he was “wounded and broken” because he had been taunted by his ex-wife and her fiancé “over and over again.” He acted out of “pure and thoughtless rage,” she said.
Delvalle who was convicted on February 3 of premeditated attempted murder will now serve life in prison plus 17 years for the San Diego violent crime.
