Victim Danny Davidson of Visalia was killed in his home on March 14, 2006.

The defendant waived his right to a jury trial on his priors, and Judge Sevier set the case for a court trial on the priors for April 28, 2008 in Visalia, Department 4 at 8:30 a.m. A sentencing date will be set at that time.

This case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Afreen Kaelble, and investigated by Sergeant Randy Lentzner of the Visalia Police Department and Barry Silva of the District Attorney's Office Bureau of Investigations.
