An Anaheim man was convicted today of stabbing two movie theater patrons, whom he did not know, during the showing of a horror movie at a theater in Fullerton. Steven Walter Robinson Jr., 30, was found guilty by a jury today of two felony counts of attempted murder with premeditation and deliberation and sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a deadly weapon and causing great bodily injury. On Sept. 29, 2009, Robinson was convicted by a jury of the charges listed above and two felony counts of mayhem. On Dec. 11, 2009, Robinson was sentenced to 22 years to life in state prison in this case. On Jan. 14, 2011, the Court of Appeal vacated Robinson’s sentence and overturned his conviction on the attempted murder charges and sentencing enhancements based on an instructional error given by the judge during juror deliberations. Robinson faces a maximum sentence of 22 years to life in state prison at his sentencing on Nov. 14, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. in Department N-13, North Justice Center, Fullerton.

The campaign paid $415,000 for the space in December 2012. Some might say the campaign invested in the community it represents, perhaps adding value to the location or neighborhood, but government watchdogs at
two places are not so sure. Staff at the Sunlight Foundation and the Campaign Legal Center told the Register that they were unaware of a congressional campaign previously buying real estate and was unsure if it was unprecedented. The Register also mentioned the congressional candidate campaign guide, a handbook that lists campaign regulations and standards, which only mentions Please see page 2
1 in 10 California workers is an illegal immigrant, study suggests by Jennifer schlueter Last Wednesday, the Pew Research Center released a nationwide study on immigrants. A simultaneously published report by the University of Southern California (USC) on the same subject focused solely on California.
