Rehabilitation earns convicted burglar shortened prison sentence
A Davis native will gain an earlier release from state prison, at the request of his defense attorney and the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.
Gabriel Eugene, 26, was sentenced in 2016 to a 14-year prison term following a conviction for residential burglary and violating his recent parole in a prior burglary case. Last week, a visiting Yolo County judge granted a motion to take five years off his sentence.
The DA’s Office requested Eugene’s sentence reduction under AB 2942, signed into law last year, which for the first time allows prosecutors to recommend shortened prison terms in the interests of justice.
