"A 28-year-old Vacaville man was sentenced to 40-years-to-life in prison last week in connection with the fatal shooting of a woman on Valentines Day 2025 in Vallejo. After three days of deliberations, a Solano County Superior Court jury delivered a second-degree murder conviction last month against Imani Marquise Robinson for the shooting death of Ceri Anne Granger. He had been charged with first degree murder but jury opted for the second degree conviction with an enhancement of personal use of a firearm in the crime."
"Enacted in 2020, the California Racial Justice Act prohibits the state from seeking or obtaining criminal convictions or imposing sentences base on race, ethnicity, or national origin. In court Wednesday, Judge William J. Pendergast sentenced Robison to 15-years-to-life in prison on the second degree murder charge and found that the defense had failed to establish a prima facia claim under the Racial Justice Action motion."
Imani Marquise Robinson was convicted of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Ceri Anne Granger on Valentines Day 2025 in Vallejo. A Solano County Superior Court jury reached the verdict after three days of deliberations and included an enhancement for personal use of a firearm. Robinson sought relief under the California Racial Justice Act, but the court found the defense failed to establish a prima facie claim. Judge William J. Pendergast sentenced Robinson to 15-years-to-life for murder and a consecutive 25-years-to-life for the firearm enhancement, totaling 40-years-to-life. Vallejo police responded to a late-night shooting on the 400 block of Sheldon Avenue; Granger was pronounced dead at the scene and detectives later obtained a Ramey warrant.
