62-year-old Pittsburg resident Kevin Jerome Easter has been found guilty of first degree murder.
The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office retried the case after the original conviction was overturned on appeal in 2019.
Easter shot his wife multiple times on the night of August 7, 2013, in their Pittsburg residence. During his trial in 2014, his defense attorney declared that Easter was not competent to stand trial for his crimes, which included a firearm enhancement and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Competency issues were renewed in 2015 by his defense, but a judge ultimately found him guilty. He was sentenced to 65 years and eight months in prison. His appeal in 2019 reversed the conviction, resolved the competency issues, and returned the case to Superior Court for a retrial – where the prosecution prevailed in court.
“After many years, the victim’s family and the community have closure on a tragic and senseless murder,” said Deputy District Attorney Jordan Sanders. “This prosecution would not be possible without the hard work of the Pittsburg Police Department, the time and energy of the neighbors who came to testify about details which happened so long ago, and the victim’s family for having the strength to endure another trial. The overwhelming evidence of the defendant’s guilt justified a conviction for first degree murder.”
Easter will be sentenced at a future date and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

I do not understand how the Federal Courts,, or, the Federal Gov’t, New York District Attorney/Attorney General, the F.B.I., & the C.I.A. have all FAILED to Convict Trump of JUST ONE of the multiple Felonies he has committed.
I would love an answer from on of those agencies!
Isn’t Susanna special, in a short-bus kind of way? First, this is not the politics thread, and second, all of those felonies were fantasies, created by the DNC, the mainstream media, and the rest of the loony-left.
NOW, Now, every so often we need to be reminded how fortunate we are, human cloning is illegal.
@ Susanna K – obviously, you have irrefutable evidence in your possession of all those Trump felonies. I’m certain that those agencies you mentioned would be eternally grateful for your assistance. You should immediately move to New York and help with the investigations.
