Miami-Dade Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson sentenced Ysrael Granda to life imprisonment instead of death for orchestrating the 2012 murder of Jose Soto. She cited the lighter sentences of Granda's accomplices and Granda's history of mental illness and trauma as factors in her decision. Victim Carmen Dominguez expressed her grief, lamenting her children and grandchildren's loss. Granda, who was found guilty of first-degree murder, received several life sentences but plans to appeal the ruling.
"I hope you spend the rest of your life thinking about the damage you have caused," Wolfson said to Granda as he leaned back and twiddled his fingers.
Granda, who sat alone in the jury box after being denied the right to sit with his attorneys by the judge, said he planned to appeal, then broke out in a big grin as he shook his counsel's hands.
