We’re told Casio was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, personal use of a dangerous or deadly weapon, and inflicting great bodily injury.
While incarcerated, CDCR says Casio was sentenced to six years for assaulting a prisoner with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause great bodily injury.
